Why Buy a 2009 BMW Engine from Auto Power Source
Every 2009 BMW engine in our inventory is pulled from a low-mileage donor vehicle, cataloged by VIN, and held in our climate-controlled warehouse pending sale. Each unit goes through 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 2009 BMW engine is cleared for sale — especially important on the twin-turbo N54 units in the 135i, 335i, and 535i. 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 which 2009 variant fits? Text your VIN and we will confirm.

2009 BMW Engine Buying Guide
-
Confirm the 8th-digit VIN engine code. 2009 BMW uses it to distinguish the N51, N52N, and twin-turbo N54 sixes — same 3.0L displacement can be a different engine.
-
Check turbo vs naturally-aspirated. The 135i, 335i, and 535i run the twin-turbo N54; the 128i, 328i, and 528i are naturally aspirated. They are not interchangeable.
-
Match drivetrain (RWD vs xDrive AWD). The 2009 328i, 335i, 528i, and 535i ship in both; oil pan, sump, and mounts differ between RWD and xDrive.
-
Note the thru-12/08 / from-1/09 production split. Several 535i and 335i units changed mid-year — verify the build date so the correct revision is matched.
-
Watch gasoline vs diesel on the X5 and 335d. The 2009 X5 and 335i are offered in both fuels — the diesel engines are entirely distinct. Always run the donor VIN, which we provide on request.
Our ASE-certified technicians verify every one of these points against your VIN before any engine ships.
