There are many BMW engines on eBay. You should pay special attention to the fuel type, petrol or diesel. Other features to consider are the induction type, power outputs, and configuration. Ensure they match those of the BMW car you wish to revive. Though engine capacity is a crucial spec, it is not much of a deal-breaker as there are BMW engines of the same capacity but with a different configuration, fuel type, induction type, or power output.

The main factors in determining the value of a BMW engine are the working condition and the mileage. An additional important factor is the completeness of the engines, whether the engine has all the main components and accessories or not. Unless you know where to find the missing part, you are better off with a complete engine.
