BMW Used Engines

If you are looking for a good used engine for your BMW there are many things to consider before laying out your hard earned cash. Firstly, are you going to get the kind of BMW engine you would expect from a used engine supplier or auto scrap yard and then how will you know exactly what the condition is when buying the engine especially if you are not a competent mechanic and someone who understands the used automotive business sector. Buying an engine carries risks and should be carefully explored.

Most scrap yards and engine suppliers will give you a standard 30 day start up guarantee for your engine that usually comes from an accident damaged vehicle write off. Try to find out if the engine you are buying is still in the body of the car as this will give you vital clues as to what condition the car was in before the accident occurred. By looking at various components like the condition of the tyres, steering wheel, drivers seat and the clutch and brake pedals will show certain levels of wear and tear that will indicate an estimated amount of mileage the vehicle had done to someone with a keen eye. You can then make an assumption as to how well the car was maintained also by the general appearance of the car. A dirty engine most probably has oil leaks and this will also indicate that the owner did not service the vehicle regularly. This would be first prize when buying a used engine because you can see what the overall condition of the vehicle is in.

If you are buying an engine ‘off the floor’, then you need to be a bit more careful because you don’t have the car to look at. The first thing to check is to make sure the engine turns over and then check the dipstick by looking at what colour the oil is and more importantly where the level of the oil level is at. Most scrap yards and used engine dealers will assist you with all the above to make a sale nationwide.
