Question 3

What are the most common problems with the BMW M52TU 2.8L engine?

Accepted Answer

The most common BMW M52TU 2.8L engine problems are timing chain/belt wear, oil consumption issues, coolant leaks from gaskets, spark plug and ignition problems. These are well-documented failure points that affect many BMW M52TU engines in service. Our remanufacturing process specifically addresses each of these known issues by using updated components, improved gaskets, and enhanced machining techniques. When you purchase a remanufactured BMW M52TU long block from US Engine Production, these common problems have been corrected during the rebuild process, giving you a more reliable engine than a simple repair would provide.

Question 4

What warranty comes with a remanufactured BMW M52TU engine?

Accepted Answer

Every remanufactured BMW M52TU engine from US Engine Production comes with a comprehensive parts-and-labor warranty backed by over 40 years of remanufacturing experience. Our warranty reflects our confidence in the quality of our process — every BMW M52TU 2.8L engine is dyno tested before shipping to verify horsepower, torque, oil pressure, and overall performance. Warranty terms may vary based on the specific application and whether the engine is for a passenger vehicle, truck, or commercial application. Contact us at (631) 991-7700 for specific warranty details for your 1999 BMW Z3.

Question 5

How long does a remanufactured BMW M52TU engine last?

Accepted Answer

A remanufactured BMW M52TU engine typically lasts 150,000 to 300,000+ miles with proper maintenance — comparable to a brand new engine. The longevity of your remanufactured BMW M52TU 2.8L depends on regular oil changes, proper cooling system maintenance, using the correct fuel and fluids, and following the manufacturer's recommended service intervals. Our remanufactured long blocks are built to OEM specifications using all-new internal components, which is why they deliver the same service life as a factory-new engine.

Question 6

Is a remanufactured BMW M52TU better than a used or rebuilt engine?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a remanufactured BMW M52TU is significantly better than a used or rebuilt engine because every component is replaced or restored to OEM specifications. A used engine has unknown history and remaining life. A rebuilt engine only replaces worn-out parts. Our remanufactured BMW M52TU 2.8L engines are completely disassembled down to the bare block, every component is cleaned and inspected, and all wear items are replaced with new parts — including pistons, bearings, gaskets, seals, timing components, and the oil pump. The engine block and crankshaft are precision machined to factory tolerances, delivering better reliability, longer life, and a stronger warranty than used or rebuilt alternatives.

Question 7

Will a remanufactured BMW M52TU fit my 1999 BMW Z3?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our remanufactured BMW M52TU long block engines are built to be a direct, bolt-in replacement for the original engine in your 1999 BMW Z3. We match the engine to your specific year, make, model, and configuration to ensure proper compatibility with your vehicle's computer, wiring harness, emissions equipment, and mounting points. When you call us at (631) 991-7700, our specialists will verify the exact engine configuration for your 1999 BMW Z3 using your VIN to ensure a perfect match.

Question 8

Do I need to return my old BMW M52TU engine core?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a core return is required when purchasing a remanufactured BMW M52TU long block engine. A refundable core deposit is collected at the time of purchase and is returned to you once we receive your old BMW M52TU 2.8L engine in rebuildable condition. We provide a prepaid shipping label to make the core return process easy and hassle-free. The core return program helps us keep remanufactured engine prices affordable by recycling engine blocks and other reusable components. Your old engine core should be complete and not have any cracked or damaged major castings.

Question 9

How fast can I get a remanufactured BMW M52TU engine shipped?

Accepted Answer

Expedited shipping options are available for an additional charge. Your remanufactured BMW M52TU 2.8L engine is carefully crated and secured on a pallet for safe transport.

Question 10

How is a remanufactured BMW M52TU engine tested before shipping?

Accepted Answer
