Great website helping to solve the issue of finding motor vehicle parts
Engine Finder was very helpful and friendly. Only negative issue is that they try and source an engine for 1 day only. They claim to be engine finder so they must keep on searching until they have one or I ask them to stop
I contacted engine finder enquiring about engine search and received prompt response through their customer service personnel who were friendly and helpful.
I found this site and was so happy as it was super helpful to us when we had absolutely no options. I got a same day very professional answer and purchased what I needed which was an unusual item to find. Thank you

Specs and prices are as recorded on each listing. Engines change between model years, so match the engine code stamped on your block, or ask the supplier to confirm it, before you buy.
It depends on the individual engine — its mileage, service history and how it was driven matter more than the model. Ask the supplier for the mileage and any history they have on the unit before you buy, and keep up regular servicing once it is fitted.
The cost of BMW E60 replacement engines varies based on the year model and condition. Used and reconditioned options are available at different price points.
10 BMW E60 engines are listed on Engine Finder right now. Send one request and the 23 suppliers we list for BMW can quote on used, reconditioned or imported units.
Each supplier sets its own warranty, and it depends on the engine and its condition. Ask for the warranty period and what it covers in writing with your quote, before you pay.
