BM Engine Works is your one stop shop to deal with any engine related problem, as we provide all sorts of engine components. If you need to replace the engine of your 5 series then we are experts in providing the low mileage, used and reconditioned BMW 5 Series engines at incredibly low prices and can rebuild the original BMW 5 series engine as well. Our team of technicians consists of mechanics and technicians with years of experience in the field and are factory-trained by BMW.
No matter what BMW 5 Series generation you drive, from E39 through E60, F10 and the latest G30 generation, our experts have years of experience and hands on knowledge with all major petrol, diesel, performance and hybrid engine families fitted by BMW. Looking at the petrol options first, we are experts in dealing with naturally aspirated M52, M54, N52 and N53 units, alongside the turbocharged N54, N55 and the modern modular B48 and B58 power plants.
When it comes to the diesel engines, our expertise lies in widely used M47, N47, N57 and current-generation B47 engines, addressing both common failure points and full replacement requirements. For high-performance M5 models, we support the V8 S62 and twin-turbocharged S63 engines with specialist diagnostics, rebuilding and replacement expertise. You can count on us for the supply and fitting of MW’s plug-in hybrid systems, including the 530e and 545e, powered by the B48 PHEV drivetrain. Our technicians ensure complete compatibility.
Featuring BMW’s advanced engineering technology, 5 Series engine is designed to deliver smooth power output, fuel efficiency and long term reliability. However, over time, some BMW engines may develop faults due to high mileage and delayed servicing.
| Common Engine Problem | Early Warning Signs or Causes | Our Engine Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Timing chain wear or failure | Rattling or ticking during cold starts, rough running, engine management warning lights, timing related fault codes or difficulty starting. Wear may be accelerated by extended oil change intervals, worn guides or a weak tensioner. | We can supply a fully inspected used or reconditioned replacement engine. Where appropriate, the engine is fitted with a renewed timing chain system, including the chain, guides and tensioner, before installation. |
| Turbocharger failure or boost pressure loss | Reduced acceleration, limp mode, whistling or whining noises, excessive smoke, increased oil consumption and boost pressure fault codes. Common causes include bearing wear, blocked oil feeds, contaminated oil, damaged hoses or a sticking actuator. | Our replacement engines can be supplied with a tested turbocharger or a professionally refurbished unit. We also recommend checking the intercooler, oil feed pipes, intake system and boost hoses before fitting. |
| Oil leaks and excessive oil consumption | Oil spots beneath the vehicle, a burning oil smell, smoke from the engine bay, low oil level warnings or frequent oil top ups. Ageing gaskets, seals, crankcase ventilation faults and overheating can cause or worsen leaks. | We supply engines inspected for oil leaks and can replace common seals and gaskets during reconditioning. The replacement engine is pressure checked where required, with the lubrication and crankcase ventilation systems inspected before installation. |
| Cooling system failure and overheating | Rising temperature, coolant warnings, coolant loss, a sweet smell, visible leaks, steam, poor cabin heating or an overheating engine. Typical causes include water pump failure, thermostat faults, cracked plastic components, damaged hoses or a blocked radiator. | We can provide a replacement engine with renewed cooling system components where required. Before installation, the cooling system should be pressure tested and the water pump, thermostat, hoses, radiator and expansion tank checked. |
| EGR, DPF and intake carbon build up | Engine management lights, reduced performance, uneven running, frequent regeneration, excessive fuel consumption, smoke or limp mode. Short journeys, low speed driving and soot accumulation can prevent effective regeneration and restrict airflow. | We can supply a tested replacement engine and advise on cleaning or replacing affected intake and emission components. The EGR system, DPF, intake manifold, sensors and exhaust system should be diagnosed rather than replacing the engine without confirming the root cause. |
| Internal engine wear or bottom end damage | Deep knocking, metallic particles in the oil, low oil pressure, heavy smoke, misfires, poor compression or complete engine seizure. Low oil levels, missed servicing, overheating, oil starvation and prolonged operation after a warning light can cause severe internal damage. | Our solution is a professionally inspected replacement or reconditioned engine, selected to match the vehicle’s required specification. We can supply engines with tested cylinder compression, inspected bearings and renewed seals, subject to the agreed rebuild specification. |
At BM Engine Works, we ensure that we diagnose and resolve the issues and if engine replacement seems a viable option, then we have ready to fit low mileage used and reconditioned BMW 5 series engines at affordable prices.
When the inevitable happens and you have an engine failure in the BMW 5 Series, buying a brand new engine could cost you as much as the vehicle cost. The cost effective choice is to buy a used engine, a reconditioned engine or simply rebuild the original engine. These three options provide significant savings compared to purchasing a brand new engine while ensuring optimal performance and reliability.
We have teams of professional and trained technicians who are always on the lookout for low mileage BMW 5 Series used engines from reputable and trusted engine suppliers scattered all over the United Kingdom. We buy those perfectly working engines taken from vehicles written off for any reason and bring them to our facility. We test those engines for functionality and reliability and once we are satisfied with the results, we only allow those engines to be sold.
For those who prefer to have an engine replacement with performance as good as a new engine and reliability that gives you years of worry free drive, reconditioned engine is what they should have. A reconditioned engine starts its journey from a low mileage used engine and a team of reconditioning experts disassembles the engine to the core. They inspect each component and every faulty or worn out component is replaced with OEM quality components. The engine is put back together and the engine is put through a series of different tests to check the performance and reliability. Our reconditioned engines are on par as far as quality and performance are concerned.
If you are only interested in bringing the troubled original engine back to life instead of swapping it with a replacement engine then BM Engine Works can help you with that. We offer engine rebuild services for the BMW 5 Series at affordable rates. We take the original engine out and pick it apart. We replace the worn out or faulty parts, machine the engine block if required and put it back together expertly. We fit the original engine back into the vehicle after putting it through various tests. This provides the owner of the vehicle the peace of mind they require.
The major purpose of BMW 4 Series engine replacement is to offer our customers reliability and performance, and to meet their expectations, we ensure that every engine we supply goes through a strict sourcing and approval process designed to prioritise reliability over volume. Sourcing of the engine starts with carefully selecting the donor vehicle. We assess its service history, accident status and overall mechanical condition before any engine is considered. We check ECU data and service records to verify the mileage, and once the engine is in our facility, a series of BMW specific mechanical inspections and advanced diagnostic testing is performed to check for internal wear, fault codes and performance irregularities. Only engines that meet our technical standards are put on sale.
It’s not just the sourcing that we excel in; we are BMW5 Series engine replacement and fitting specialists with thousands of successfully completed installations. Your vehicle is first diagnosed with the problem, then our team understands the BMW coding and adaptation requirements while avoiding common 5 Series installation faults so there are no repeat failures. This combined expertise ensures every engine is not just supplied, but correctly integrated for long term performance.
We aim to be your one stop shop for all the possible problems that your BMW 5 Series can face. No matter if you require a used or reconditioned engine replacement or a full engine rebuild. Our skilled technicians are skilled and experienced enough to get the job done. We also provide diagnostics using the state of the art equipment and provide high quality OEM parts at affordable prices.
We have spent a huge amount on sourcing equipment that helps us diagnose and replace engines the right way, and our technicians are highly skilled and experienced in engine replacements after completing thousands of them within the last two decades. Testimonials from our satisfied and happy clients mean that we always pay attention to what our clients say. We have a huge stock of used and reconditioned BMW 5 Series engines ready to fit straight away, which can save plenty of time.
We understand that if a client is asking for a used or reconditioned engine, he wants to save some of his hard earned cash. This is why our used low mileage BMW 5 Series engines start from around £2,000-£2,500, and reconditioned BMW 5 Series engines generally range from £3,000–£5,500+, depending on the specification.
For the customer’s peace of mind, we provide a warranty with every engine that we provide. This warranty length depends upon the condition of the engine and the work that is carried out on that engine. This gives our customers a chance to drive worry free. We offer UK wide engine delivery and professional in-house fitting at our workshop. All you have to do is book an appointment with us, and our team of dedicated professionals will take it from there.
