As we all know, it makes the most ecological sense to drive a car once it has been built for as long as possible. And even one engine failure does not necessarily have to result in a vehicle change.

The engine is almost always the most expensive and complex component in a vehicle. Nevertheless, the exchange can be worthwhile. For example, if a well-kept BMW 5 Series has only done about 100.000 km and is maybe only 8-10 years old, then you should have one engine Swap definitely consider. After all, a mileage of 300.000 km or more is not uncommon for such a model and a new vehicle is definitely more expensive.
Exchange engine: why not!
But how expensive is such a replacement engine even possible and what additional costs are involved in view of the installation?

The decisive factor for the price may be whether the engine with or without warranty on sale is. The overall package also plays a role (Sale with or without ancillaries) and the installation can sometimes cost more, sometimes less (free or authorized workshop).
In any case, you shouldn't expect a price below 3.000 euros. However, it should be said here that a new engine directly from the manufacturer is often enough XNUMX times is that expensive. One should not shy away from doing extensive research on the Internet in order to find the best possible and inexpensive motor. Also complete offers are often available here. Or you can have the defective motor overhauled. In the case of the N47D20 mentioned above, you have to reckon with costs of around 2.000 euros. Depending on the mileage, there are also N47D20 replacement engines for the money. For comparison: a new N47D20 currently costs around €9.000.
Incidentally, the best results are achieved if you enter a specifically defined request. Roughly along the lines of "I need engine X for car Y, the mileage should not be more than XX kilometers and it is important to me that the installation is taken care of and I receive a warranty. Various workshops can offer you this offer Cost estimate if you post the request on specialized comparison platforms on the internet.
