Help Finding replacement engine
Hey Everyone,
I have a 2011 335i xDrive (n54 motor) and it recently threw a rod and now there a giant hole in my engine block. Shop quoted me 14k to replace.... As much as I'd like to dump the car and wipe my hand clean with it I figured it'd be a good opportunity to turn this into a project car (waste of money I'm sure). Can anyone point me to any known reliable places to pick up a new engine? I don't mind having one shipped but If I could find a local seller too that would be great. I'm on the west coast, Las Vegas area. Here's the VIN if it helps: WBAPL5G58BNN21829 Edit: I tried to search eBay but I honestly don't know if the engines I am looking at are the correct ones or not. Really what I need help with is just making sure I am looking for the right engine, like where do I find the part number or something. Last edited by Tessar; 05-27-2019 at 02:18 PM..

I'm not entirely sure, that's just what the shop told me. I was on a road trip in another state when it happened...
And really? I was under the impression this car had an n54 engine... just goes to show how much I don't know about cars... If it helps I can upload the diag file the shop sent me, I'd have to go through and omit all of the personal info first but no big deal. |
