I have no idea what you're asking. Are you asking if it is OK to get a new engine? Or are you asking is it OK to use a replacement engine with 170,000 miles already on it? Or are you asking if it is OK that someone replaced your 170,000 mile engine with a new one?

Sorry I want to buy the car it's already has 170k miles on it but the owner he replaced the engine and Reason for engine replacement: the front drive shaft broke and punched a hole in the engine block. so with bmw cars is okay to buy one with replaced engine or it's gonna be not worth it

That's the N63 engine, which has been problematic. I wouldn't walk from that car, I'd RUN!! There HAS to be better examples out there in your price range.

You could be easily looking at 10k plus work on that car in the near future. Look away, do not regret, buy it and you will regret and probably lose all your hair lol.

170k miles on it, who knows whats ready to fail next. Look for a better deal, buying that would be like gambling all your money knowing you wont win.

How much are they asking for it?

Was the replacement engine brand new (fresh from the factory) when installed? If not, how many miles were on the engine?

I would walk away from that car and pickup a 535 theres alot of cheap ones around here right now in the 100k mile range for 12-14k. Spend 350$ on a mhd tune and it feels just as fast as a 550i but without the headache.

Nah don't listen to these biased haters 550 is the way to go. Just find out the mileage of the installed engine and who did the work, to get a better idea of what you're looking at.

Its a fact that 550 had problems specially n63 even the n63tu has problems.

N63 is on the worse side of things. With all the evidence filled with issues on the internet not sure how you can say that. He will need warranty to own this car.

All issues are 99.9% related to the engine parts which bmw is slowly replacing.
If he gets a new engine and rest of the stuff under CCP he should have a very reliable car. But that being said that is a lot of miles on the car so everything else might be in bad shape. OP PM me a vin ill check repair records for this car.

Depends on mileage on the engine and state of the body, codes etc. If less than 30k on engine, the work was done within the last few years, interior & body is good, no codes - this would be really good.

It's really nice interior and exterior

Mileage is way to high. I don't think that cars worth more than 8k even with the new engine. When you try to sell that car later down the road no one is going to want to buy a bmw with 200k miles especially with a n63. Everyones scared of modern bmws with high mileage which is why there such a huge price difference between a 80k and 100k mile car. I bet a dealership would appraise that car for 5k or less.

Yeah the dealer always gives a fraction of what you can get in a private sale since they have to flip all trade-ins. Consider though that for F10s the N63 engine is the main thing prone to failure, and that the cost of parts and labor to replace the engine is 8-11k. You can look at it like you got the car at less than 5k and did an engine swap. The N63 is a beast and if you can get an extra 50-80k with this setup you're getting more than your money's worth for the cost.

Couple things to consider, what maintenance was done, aftermarket warranty. Also if paying cash will they negotiate a lower price? If not lower price GET a warranty and make sure it covers more then the engine. That would be the only way id purchase this. 550i are very nice dispite the problems of the n63, with a warranty covering the car it will be better you will enjoy every moment of the power!

that car without engine should be 2-4k tops that's what they go for at an auction with a new engine 6-7k
