Bmw Engines by mandmis007(op): 6:26pm On Sep 02, 2016

I own a BMW 2007 760Li model, the engine knocked last two months when we travelling to jos from lagos.
The engine was opened and discovered that the some parts of the block engine was broken. My predicament now is whether to buy another engine or to repair the old one or buy another block and couple the engine. Which will be best? Pls advise.

Buy another one, use the old one as spares.you can buy a used bare engine and transfer all accessories,that will reduce cost.

Buy another engine but keep the old. Faster turnaround time

cause some of the engine is still good

second option, rebuild with a BMW certified tech, which will take time and more money given current exchange rate to bring in OEM parts or to purchase from the franchised dealership locally

Big engine, Big Gbese!!!!!
Best to huntdown a decent replacement engine. Kazeem would struggle to put this humpty dumpty together.
Even BMW would not fix, they would simply drop a new lump in and gladly bill you..............

Thanks so much for your advice. I made enquiries about how much a "belgium" engine would cost and I got ranges between 600k to 800k. Do u think this is a realistic price for a 760 v12?

Not really. 760i is the MOST luxurious and most expensive vehicle made by BMW. They are about $135,000 New.

Expensive car = Expensive part especially when you are talking about the most important part of the car - The ENGINE

Owner should have be more careful. These engines are not supposed to just pack up unless someone was not being too careful somewhere

On a lighter note, why are the Kazeem's not advising replacing this engine, with a Toyota lump?
