Reconditioned BMW 1 Series Engine for Sale: Used Engine Supply & Fit with Warranty

Affordable Replacement BMW 1 Series Engine: Warranty & Delivery

A healthy engine keeps every BMW 1 Series model from the classic E87 to the latest F20 feeling sharp, quick, and refined. When that engine breaks, the car loses its edge, but you do not have to buy a brand-new vehicle. We stock a wide range of BMW 1 Series engines for sale, including petrol and diesel units, complete engines, and tested used or fully reconditioned options. Our goal is simple: give you the right BMW engine, deliver it anywhere in the UK, or fit it for you if required. All units meet OEM standards and carry a free warranty, so you can drive with confidence instead of worry.

You can also save a lot of money when you buy a power unit from us. By sourcing low-mileage used engines and rebuilding cores in-house, we cut costs by as much as 40% compared with main-dealer quotes while still supplying genuine BMW quality. That means less time off the road, less stress, and more enjoyment from your 1 Series, whether it is a frugal 116d diesel or a lively 118i petrol.

What is the common problem with the BMW 1 Series engines?

Most 1 Series diesel engines—especially the N47, B37, and early B47 fitted to E87, F20, and F21 models—suffer timing-chain stretch or failure if oil changes are missed. Worn chains lose tension, jump teeth, and allow the valves to hit the pistons, often ruining the block. Some cars also develop spun crankshaft bearings when oil service intervals are ignored. Petrol units see far fewer chain issues, but overheating caused by coolant leaks can warp the cylinder head. Regular servicing with OEM filters and oil keeps both petrol and diesel engines healthy for far longer.

Where can you buy a reconditioned BMW 1 Series engine with a warranty and UK-wide delivery?

BM Engine Works holds reconditioned BMW 1 Series engines rebuilt to factory specs, compression-tested, and supplied with up to a 24-month parts warranty. Each engine is strapped to an ISPM-15 pallet, shrink-wrapped, and shipped by trusted couriers who deliver across the UK mainland. Prefer us to install it? Book a slot at our Essex workshop and our BMW-trained technicians will handle removal, coding, fluids, and the test, handing your car back ready to go.

How much does a complete reconditioned BMW 1 Series engine cost with supply & fit?

Prices vary with engine size, build spec, and model year, so we quote only after checking your exact VIN. This avoids surprise extras and keeps the figure accurate. What we can say is that a used or reconditioned BMW 1 Series engine with full supply and fit is typically up to 40 % cheaper than a franchised BMW dealer’s like-for-like price, yet includes the same OEM gaskets, filters, and fluids. Get a firm, written quotation by entering your registration online or calling our team on the given number on the website.

Is a used BMW 1 Series engine a quality replacement at up to 40% discount?

Of course, if it is sourced, inspected, and warranted by specialists. Our used BMW 1 Series engines come from low-mileage donor cars that have passed a leak-down test, oil-pressure test, and visual bore inspection. Mileage and provenance are recorded, and we replace service items like spark plugs or glow plugs before sale. Because the engine has already covered road miles, it costs noticeably less than a freshly reconditioned unit, often close to 40% less, while still offering reliable performance for daily driving.

Which engines for the BMW 1 Series for sale offer OEM specs and warranty second-hand?

Look for units tagged “reconditioned” or “grade-A used.” Reconditioned engines are stripped to the bare block, cleaned, honed, and rebuilt with genuine bearings, piston rings, timing parts, and seals. Used grade-A engines remain in original factory build but carry a clear service history and low mileage. Both types meet OEM specifications because all wearable parts either remain within standards or are renewed with BMW components. Each engine is sold with a written parts warranty that is often up to 24 months on reconditioned units and up to six months on used units—to protect your investment.

Can we get complete engines for BMW 1 Series with full supply & fit and quality used options?

Absolutely. Our stock includes complete engines—block, head, sump, turbo or manifolds where applicable—ready for a drop-in swap. Choose between a reconditioned BMW 1 Series complete engine for near-new performance or a quality used unit if budget is tight. Either way, our supply-and-fit package covers removal of your failed engine, installation of the replacement, new coolant and oil, ECU coding, and a road test, all completed under one roof for a single agreed charge. Collection and delivery are arranged for customers nationwide.

What warranty comes with reconditioned and used BMW 1 Series engines bought online?

Every reconditioned BMW 1 Series engine leaves with a parts warranty of up to 24 months covering major internal components like the block, head, crankshaft, and pistons. Used BMW 1 Series engines include up to six months' parts warranty. Follow the simple warranty terms: fit by a VAT-registered garage (or by us), use OEM oil and filters, and return for inspection if any fault appears. Adhering to these steps means any covered repairs are carried out free of charge within the warranty period.

Do car owners save up to 40% discount on reconditioned or used BMW 1 Series engines?

Savings come from three places: the reuse of serviceable BMW castings, the bulk purchase of OEM parts, and in-house machining that removes third-party mark-ups. When these factors are combined, the final invoice for a reconditioned or used BMW 1 Series engine—including supply, fit, fresh fluids, and VAT—can be 30 to 40% lower than the dealer’s price for a brand-new replacement. That discount gives owners room to budget for future maintenance or upgrades without sacrificing reliability today.

Whether you drive a BMW 1 Series diesel or petrol, hatchback or coupé, restoring lost power is as easy as choosing the right engine. Select your BMW 1 Series, decide between used or reconditioned, and let our team handle the rest—from UK delivery to professional installation. Your BMW deserves OEM-level performance; we deliver it for less, backed by real warranty and straightforward support.
