Item Description
96-99 BMW M3 / 98-00 Z3 M S52B32 3.2L Engine Motor Short Block Assembly 2318
S52 short block with oil pan, crankshaft and 6 pistons with rods from a 1997 BMW M3 with 197,913 miles. The oil pan was removed for inspection purposes, there were no spun bearings or other damages to the rotating assembly. One oil pan bolt broke and was completely removed but will need replaced and the oil pan and pickup will need new gaskets before use. The block is in good used condition with no visible cracks or any other serious damage. The cylinders are standard bore (86.4mm) and still show good crosshatching throughout all cylinders. There are no deep gouges or marring anywhere in the cylinder walls. All of the gasket mounting surfaces are in good shape with no damages. This block should be checked by a professional machinist prior to installation as it may need bored, honed or other repair. The images are of the actual item you will receive.
Original equipment from 1996-1999 BMW M3 and 1998-2000 BMW Z3M with 3.2L S52B32 engine.

Questions on fitment or availability? Email Importapartsales@gmail.com or reach us through our contact page and we’ll get back to you within one to two business days. Hours are Mon–Fri, 9am–5pm CST.
We accept all major credit and debit cards and the other payment methods shown at checkout, processed securely through Shopify. Payment is due in full at the time of purchase, and sales tax is applied where required.
For programmed ECU/ECM/PCM orders, be sure to submit your VIN, odometer reading, and current part number at checkout so we can program the unit before it ships.
We ship to all 50 states. Most orders leave our Hazelwood, MO shop within 1–2 business days by FedEx, UPS, or USPS, and you’ll get tracking by email as soon as it’s on the way.
Heavy items like engines, transmissions, and body panels may ship freight — we note that on the listing when it applies. Alaska and Hawaii have a flat-rate surcharge calculated at checkout. We don’t ship to PO Boxes or outside the U.S.
Local pickup is available at our Hazelwood facility by appointment — call ahead to set a time.
Returns are accepted within 60 days. A 20% restocking fee applies to standard returns, but it’s waived if we sent the wrong part, it arrived damaged, or it’s verified defective. Inspect your order on arrival and contact us within 7 days in those cases — we cover return shipping.
Programmed ECU/ECM/PCM modules are returnable only if defective, damaged, or incorrect. Because each one is programmed to the VIN you provide, we can’t take them back for compatibility issues from an incorrect VIN, odometer, or part number — double-check before you order.
Approved refunds are issued to your original payment method within 10 business days.
Every part carries a 60-day limited warranty against defects from the date it’s delivered. It covers manufacturing defects, parts that fail to function as described, and internal mechanical or electrical failure under normal use.
Not covered: damage from improper installation, accident, misuse, or modification; normal wear and tear; labor, towing, or rental costs; racing, off-road, or commercial use unless stated; and items with broken warranty seals.
