2001-2006 E46 BMW M3 S54 3.2l Engine Long Block

Donor Car:

2001 E46 BMW M3 Convertible - 109K

Functionality:

Removed from a 2001 E46 BMW M3 Convertible with 109k miles. Removed from a running and driving car, so this motor was able to be fully driven and tested before removal. Engine idles smoothly at 800 rpm with no smoking or hesitations. The internal oil pump is in good working condition with good pressure during operation. We have performed a compression test with good results (180-185-175-180-175-180). The engine had visible oil residue leaking from the oil pan gasket, valve cover gasket, and front vanos unit gaskets during testing. Due to the oil residue present on the front timing cover we would recommend a general external gasket overhaul that addresses the vanos seals, valve cover gasket, front main seal, and rear main seal while the engine is removed from the vehicle. Vehicle had no stored or present CEL codes during testing. 

Physical Condition:

Engine assembly is in good physical condition with no cracks or damage. Exterior of the engine is free of any major surface rusting or corrosion. There are some spots of cosmetic wear and discoloration from previous oil leaks and general age / use. We typically suggest replacing the exhaust manifold studs while the engine is removed from the vehicle due to the heat cycling causing them to come loose from the cylinder head during removal.

Includes everything as pictured, nothing less, nothing more. Includes the intake manifold, individual throttle bodies, coil packs, wiring harness, remanufactured alternator, injectors, AC compressor, fuel rail, power steering pump, engine cover, clutch fan, and motor mount brackets as shown. There will be some components and hardware you will need to reuse from your existing vehicle.

Fits:

2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 BMW E46 M3

Fitment Notes:

Removed from a vehicle with the manual transmission. This can be used with the automatic SMG transmission with some minor changes such as the flex plate, sensors, and wiring harness

Warranty Information:

This engine comes with a 90 day warranty that begins on the day the engine is received by the buyer. The warranty covers the engine block, crankshaft, pistons, rods, bearings, oil pump, cylinder head, head gasket, camshafts, valves and lifters against any defects that prevent the engine from operating as intended from the factory or make noises consistent with damaged engine internals ( rod knock, spun bearings, etc). Every engine we list has been fully run tested, compression tested and when possible test driven to make sure it runs smoothly, makes no odd noises and does not overheat.

What is not included in the warranty is common wear and tear items such as: timing belt, water pump, thermostat, spark plugs, spark plug wires, sensors and seals. While these items were in working condition at the time of testing, their lifespan is usually shorter than the internals of the engine and are therefore not covered under warranty. If any seals or gaskets are leaking at the time the engine is being tested and removed, or any sensors broken or defective, they will be noted in the item description. No labor, diagnostic or towing costs will be covered under warranty. In the event of a warranty claim, please be prepared to supply pictures, video and/or a statement from a shop/mechanic to validate the claim. For diagnostic purposes during the process of a warranty claim, the engine must remain in the car as installed. Beginning the removal process or any disassembly of the engine prior to our approval will void the warranty. This warranty is non-transferrable. It is only applicable to the original purchaser.

Situations that will void the warranty:

Overheating of the engine. We install "heat indicator tabs" on every engine prior to shipping that show when an engine has been operated at a temperature significantly higher than normal operating temperature. If these tabs show signs of overheating, the warranty will be void. If the engine in your car is being replaced due to damage from an overheating condition please locate and fix the source of the issue prior to running your new engine.

Not running fresh oil and oil filter in the engine (these engines ship drained of all fluids).

Installation of an aftermarket turbocharger/supercharger, Nitrous Oxide kit, or aftermarket tune.

Installation errors that are found to have caused the engine to run improperly.

Operation outside of normal intended road usage, such as track days, racing, drifting, etc.

Disassembly of the engine besides basic preventative maintenance such as oil seals, spark plugs, cooling system, and timing belts. Removing the cylinder head, head gasket changes, replacing or modifying internal rotating components such as bearings/camshafts/crankshafts, and other major work done to engine would void warranty.

****If there are any areas of concern on an engine you received or have questions about work you will be performing on it, please inform us as soon as possible. Communication in the early stages can help clarify any warranty questions or resolve any issues ahead of time****
