Guaranteed new engine or mileage is impossible . . . unless you have a lot of cash and order it from a BMW dealer and see it delivered on a create with all the right stickers and paperwork with your own eyes. BMW dealers buy 'recon' engines from scrappers like any other garage. Your best/cheapest bet would be an independent BMW garage with a good reputation, ask around and see who people in your area go to.

Did you have your engine 'chipped' or tuned at all ?
