Shop used BMW parts for sale from low-mileage donor cars. Every part is tested and checked against your 17-digit VIN before shipping, backed by a 90-day warranty, and delivered in 3–7 days across the US.
Why do independent BMW garages and Do It Yourself owners throughout the country purchase parts from us? Each part is removed from a BMW donor car. We don't sell fakes or knock-offs. A BMW's engine computer is controlled by original components, and a cheap copy can cause warning lights to illuminate and store codes, which will continue to come back no matter how many times the codes are cleared.
Nothing in our warehouse gets shipped until a member of our U.S. team tests it. We physically check and test every part. Control modules are tested and powered up on a bench. We test all engine components for compression. If a part doesn't function as it should, we throw it in the scrap heap. We never mark it down and sell it.
You will save 50 to 65% when compared to the dealer. Those who own older BMWs benefit the most, because BMW has stopped supporting some vehicles, like the E46 3 Series and E60 5 Series. The dealer doesn't have a new transmission for a 2004 BMW 325i? That's because a used 2004 BMW 325i transmission is usually sitting on our shelf. Orders are picked and shipped the same day. Engines and transmissions are transported in sturdy crates with a shipping company that is used to transport large and heavy items.
Our used BMW parts inventory covers the parts that keep a repair moving: used BMW engines for sale, complete transmissions, drive shafts, cylinder heads, differentials, axle shafts, ABS modules and turbochargers.

The N54 twin-turbo six is famous for tuning, and also for high-pressure fuel pump, injector and wastegate trouble.
See live stock and pricing 02EngineThe N63 twin-turbo V8 is known for heavy oil use and timing chain wear. A replacement engine is often cheaper than a full rebuild.
See live stock and pricing 03EngineThe N20 four-cylinder's plastic timing chain guides can break. If the chain jumps, the engine is usually done.
See live stock and pricing 04EngineThe same N20 engine, with the same timing chain guide risk, in BMW's popular compact SUV.
See live stock and pricing 05EngineThe N55 six from the xDrive35i or the N63 V8 from the xDrive50i. Check your VIN so we send the right one.
See live stock and pricing 06EngineThe N52 inline-six. It's a durable engine and a popular swap, though oil filter housing and valve cover leaks are common.
See live stock and pricingThe 6-speed ZF automatic in the E70 X5 is known for fluid leaks and harsh shifts as it ages.
See live stock and pricing 02TransmissionThe 6-speed automatic from the E90 3 Series, one of BMW's best-selling cars.
See live stock and pricing 03TransmissionThe 5-speed automatic from the E46 3 Series. New units are hard to find, so use is often the only practical option.
See live stock and pricing 04TransmissionThe 8-speed ZF automatic from the first-year F10 5 Series. A new one from the dealer costs several times more.

Used BMW X5 parts are our fastest-moving line: N55 and N63 engines, transfer cases, air suspension parts and tailgate assemblies across the E70, F15 and G05 generations. Air suspension compressors and rear air bags are the most common failures we supply, usually past 90,000 miles. We also stock the 2012 BMW X5 engine for sale and the 2014 BMW X3 engine for sale, two of our most requested SUV engines.
Used BMW 3 Series parts sell faster than anything else we stock. That includes axle assemblies, half shafts, DME modules, instrument clusters, comfort access units and window regulators. Our 5 Series parts cover E60, F10 and G30 drivetrains and modules. On these cars, chassis code matters more than model year, because BMW changes specs mid-year.
The 3 Series GT differs from the sedan at the back: tailgate, glass, rear suspension and load floor are all GT-specific. The same applies to the 5 Series GT. We stock OEM doors, hatches and complete powertrains for both.
Many 3 Series parts fit the 4 Series coupe of the same generation, which widens your options. An F32 and an F30 share far more than the badges suggest. We supply control arms, axles and graded body panels with the original paint code recorded.
Used BMW Z4 parts include roof hydraulics, folding-roof motors and the reinforced sill sections unique to the open car. We also carry 4 Series and 8 Series convertible parts. Roof mechanism parts are the hardest items to find new.
An E70 X5 and an F15 X5 look alike and share almost nothing underneath. That's why a used 2008 BMW X5 transmission won't fit a 2015 model. Our US specialists confirm the exact part before you pay, which is cheaper than a return.
We don't pull parts and ship them blind. Every part goes through mechanical testing and VIN verification by our US team before it reaches your bay or garage.
We source from insurance auctions, focusing on late-model BMWs with clean maintenance histories rather than worn-out, high-mileage cars. Donor mileage is recorded and shown on every listing before you pay.
Engines pass a compression test and are borescoped to check the cylinder walls. Transmissions are checked for fluid condition and shifting. Electronics are bench-tested for DME communication.
We match the donor's chassis code to your VIN instead of relying on model and year, because BMW makes running changes mid-year.
Parts-only coverage on every mechanical part, starting the day it arrives. Full terms on our warranty page.
New parts have no wear, but they come with dealer markups and long backorders. Used OEM parts fit like the originals and cost 50–70% less. A remanufactured or rebuilt unit sits in between.
| Compare | New (dealer) | BMW remanufactured engine or rebuilt transmission | Used OEM (ours) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | Highest | Middle | 50–70% below dealer list |
| Fit | Factory | Factory | Factory, matched by chassis code |
| Wear | None | Worn parts replaced | Tested, recorded donor mileage |
| Availability | Often backordered; rare for pre-2010 models | Depends on core supply | Ships now, including discontinued models |
| Warranty | Dealer warranty | Usually 1–3 years | 90 days, parts only |
The verdict: For a shop protecting its margin, or an owner who needs the car back this week, a tested used part gives factory performance without the dealer waiting. If you're keeping the car for many more years, a BMW remanufactured engine or a rebuilt BMW transmission for sale can be worth the extra cost. For a safety-critical part still under an open recall, buy new.
Pick your model from the menus, then add your VIN. It matches parts to your exact production run, which is how you avoid a return.

Hunting for a discontinued transfer case or panel? Our team handles the cross-referencing. Call 1-800-606-1107. Buying recycled parts also keeps factory-machined metal out of landfill, a small bonus on top of the savings.
We cover most BMW models sold in the US, including the 3 Series, 5 Series, X3, X5 and Z4. If a part isn't in stock, we'll search our donor network for you.
They're genuine OEM parts from real BMW donor vehicles. We don't sell aftermarket copies.
Most orders arrive in 3–7 business days anywhere in the US. Engines and transmissions ship crated on specialist carriers.
Yes, and we recommend it. Your VIN tells us the chassis code and build details, so we can match the exact part.
Every mechanical part has a 90-day, parts-only warranty from the day it's delivered.
Engines get a compression test and a borescope check of the cylinder walls. Transmissions are checked for fluid condition and shifting.
You don't need a local yard. Searching for used BMW parts near me often turns up limited stock and no warranty. We ship tested OEM BMW parts to any US address in 3–7 days, with a 90-day warranty.
The N54 twin-turbo engine is known for high-pressure fuel pump, injector and wastegate problems. When the damage is too costly to repair, a tested 2008 BMW 335i engine for sale is often the cheaper fix.
The N63 V8 is known for heavy oil use, often from worn valve stem seals, along with timing chain wear. Many owners replace it with a 2011 BMW 550i engine for sale instead of rebuilding.
The N20 engine uses plastic timing chain guides that can wear and break. If the chain jumps, the engine is often ruined, and a 2013 BMW 328i engine for sale is the usual fix.
A used engine costs less and suits most repairs. A BMW remanufactured engine, like a rebuilt BMW transmission, costs more but usually has a longer warranty. Choose remanufactured if you're keeping the car for many years.
Don't risk the wrong chassis code or electrical connector. Whether it's an engine for a 3 Series or a used 2011 BMW 535i transmission, our US-based specialists confirm the exact OEM fit before you pay, then ship it fast to your shop or home.
