Wash Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 I'd go down the route of a new engine, works out around £250 cheaper? £500 for the engine, £250 to get it fitted, so £750 as opposed to £1000 with a higher mileage engine.

Rob- Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 It was, they were fitted from 1998 for 3 years then was replaced by the m54. Thats why if you drive a v plate 320 its a 2.0 148bhp and a y plate 320 is a 2.2 168 bhp Wasnt aware they existed, you live and learn lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kompakt Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Where are you in the country? A BMW specialist I know just North West of the M25 (Bucks) has a good 2.2 M54 engine. If it's using that much oil, I'd suspect a broken ring and scored bore - it's shagged for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topmaster Posted September 23, 2020 Report Share Posted September 23, 2020 I just bought a 320i BMW 2007 model. It drives fine but when I accelerate white smoke comes out at the start not so noticeable but every few weeks I have to top up two litres of oil. Shall I take it to BMW to check it..
