Seized Engine. Need Some Advice🙏🏾
My 2012 528i died on me in the middle of traffic, towed it to BMW to get a diagnosis, just got an email, and apparently my engine seized and that I need to replace it. They're quoting 15k for the engine and 1.8k to replace the exhaust turbocharger, which I cannot afford. Could anyone please give me some advice or at least a cheaper alternative, would really appreciate 🙏🏾

Could take it to an indy and do a swap with a known good but used engine.

You can try calling LKQ and see if they can get you a used engine. They also have warranty packages that you can buy on top of the engine. Mind you that these are USED engines, NOT REBUILT engines. So you really don't know if you have a good engine until you attempt to start it in your car. So there is risk involved. And the warranty (if you buy one) will only cover the cost of the engine itself. Labor to replace it would typically be on you again.
And yes, labor is big on engine replacements. Especially on Xdrives. It really is a crappy situation dude, sorry to hear. Unspec gives the best advise above. find the most competent BMW indy shop in your area and get a quote from them.

Just posted this on your other thread....Look at your local salvage yards , a used N55 motor will vary in price with mileage, but your looking at from anywhere from 3900.00 to 4800.00 for motors under 80k and lower what i've seen around...

tzora123,
For some reason or another something came up on my iPhone just now about 2 engines available for a 2011 BMW 528 from a company called Auto Engines Outlet. They are located in Kansas City, MO. They have two of them at two different yards. I will list the information I have. Auto Engines Outlet, LLC 1712 Main St Kansas City, MO 866-205-2209 email: info@autoenginesoutlet.com They list them as being low mileage. Price on one is $2,733.00 and the price on the other is $2,843.00. I saw somewhere on there that shipping was $290 with delivery by 5-11-22. I have no idea why I got the notification. I have a 2011 535i X Drive but I am not looking for an engine. When I saw it I remembered seeing your post. I hope you find what you need. |
