Why Buy a 2002 BMW Engine from Auto Power Source
Each 2002 BMW engine we stock is inventory-verified from a low-mileage donor vehicle, cataloged by VIN, and stored in our climate-controlled warehouse until it sells. Every unit passes our six-step inspection — VIN-matching, ASE testing, noise & smoke verification, full visual inspection, multi-angle photography, and palletized shipping.
Our ASE-certified technicians compression-test every cylinder and run a leak-down evaluation before any 2002 BMW engine is cleared for sale. You pay a fraction of dealer-new pricing for identical BMW engineering, ship free on a heavy-duty pallet anywhere in the continental U.S., and get up to a 3-year warranty plus 30-day money-back. Not sure whether your 325i takes the M54 or SULEV M56? Text your VIN and we will confirm.

2002 BMW Engine Buying Guide
-
Identify M54 vs M56 on the 325i. The SULEV M56 (256S6) and standard M54 (256S5) are not interchangeable — the engine oil filler cap sits on opposite sides of the rocker cover.
-
Match drivetrain (RWD vs Xi AWD). 2002 325xi and X5 applications use different mounts, oil pans, and accessories than rear-drive units.
-
M cars need M engines. The M3's S54 and M5's S62 are unique to those cars — a standard 3.2L or 4.4L will not substitute, and M3 units differ with/without the SMG gearbox.
-
Check supercharged vs standard Mini Cooper. The 2002 Cooper S 1.6L supercharged unit is distinct from the base Cooper engine.
-
Always run the donor VIN if available. We provide it on request for any engine in our inventory to verify mileage and history.
Our ASE-certified technicians verify every one of these points against your VIN before any engine ships.
