How do you find the right BMW M3 engine for sale?

Here are some steps that can help you find a compatible complete engine for your M3:

• Select a model year and trim – You can find the model year and trim by referring to your BMW M3’s registration or by checking the VIN. The VIN will typically be located under the windshield at the edge of the dashboard on the right or left side of your vehicle.
• Choose a fuel type – Standard engines for the M3 will typically be gasoline. Some modified engines may take diesel or other fuel types, but this would be listed in the description.
• Select a condition – You can choose between new, used, and remanufactured engines that are compatible with your BMW M3.
• Select a fitment type – You can choose between direct replacement fitments and performance designs as well. Direct replacement will sometimes be listed as stock replacements as well.
• Brand type – You can choose between genuine OEM (original equipment manufacturer) complete engines and aftermarket/unbranded solutions as well. OEM engines come from the same factory that produced the original factory-installed engine. Aftermarket and unbranded engines are manufactured by third parties using some OEM parts for the core part of the engine. Aftermarket manufacturers will often modify the design for performance purposes.
