Typical Mini engines
Mini engines come from the BMW modular kit. For the R55 to R61 generation (Clubman, Cooper S, Countryman, Paceman) these are the 1.6-litre four-cylinders N12 and N16 (naturally aspirated) and N18 (turbo, Cooper S and JCW) – the N18B16A is regularly in stock here as a reconditioned engine. From the F generation (F55, F56, F60) the B38 three-cylinder (1.5) and the B48 four-cylinder (2.0, Cooper S) are used. The code is on the engine block; with the N engines, given the well-known timing-chain and oil-consumption issues, a reconditioned unit is often the better choice.
Used, reconditioned or new?
For used Mini engines we state mileage and year where known; every engine is tested before dispatch and comes with a 12-month warranty. Reconditioned engines have been professionally overhauled and tested – also 12 months. New engines with 0 km carry a 24-month warranty. On every engine we charge a core deposit of usually €500, refunded when your old engine is returned. Which option makes sense for you is explained in Used or remanufactured engine?; on the deposit: Core deposit explained.
How to find the right Mini engine
The engine code (e.g. B48B20B or N47D20A) is stamped into the block, usually at the front left below the cylinder head. Compare the code with the one in our product title – or send us your VIN and we will check which engine fits. Full details in our guide Finding your engine code.
Frequently asked questions about Mini replacement engines
How much does a Mini replacement engine cost?
The price is shown on each engine and depends on engine family, mileage and condition. A core deposit (usually €500) is added and refunded once we receive your old engine. Shipping on a pallet by freight carrier, or collection in Nortmoor by arrangement.
Will the engine fit my car?
If the engine code matches, yes. Ancillaries such as manifolds or brackets can differ between models and are usually transferred from the old engine. If in doubt, send us your VIN and we will check which Mini engine fits.
What warranty do Mini engines come with?
12 months on used and reconditioned engines, 24 months on new engines – with no mileage limit. The engine must be fitted professionally by a workshop. Details on our warranty page.
How do delivery and core return work?
Engines are shipped securely packed on a pallet by freight carrier; collection in Nortmoor (Germany) is possible by arrangement. After the swap you return the old engine and we refund the deposit. Our checklist: Engine replacement checklist.
