European Engine Parts specializes in BMW and European performance engine components — main and rod bearings, gaskets, valvetrain parts, cooling system parts, and more, sourced from OE-quality manufacturers like Mahle, Kolbenschmidt, Glyco, King Engine Bearings, Victor Reinz, Elring, and BGA.

How we identify every part

Every listing on this site is built the same way: we confirm the manufacturer, decode the exact size or variant, and cross-check fitment against multiple independent sources before it goes up. Where fitment for a specific engine code is only lightly confirmed, we say so directly on the product page rather than guessing — you'll see language like "commonly fitted — confirm before ordering" instead of a blanket fitment claim.

Before you order

Engine codes matter. BMW's N-series and M-series engines share chassis and model names across multiple engine variants, so always confirm your exact engine code (found on your VIN or engine block) before ordering bearings, gaskets, or timing components. For bearing undersizes in particular, always verify clearance with Plastigauge before final assembly — don't rely on the size stamped on your old bearing alone.

Questions about fitment?

If a listing doesn't clearly cover your exact engine code or chassis, reach out before ordering. We'd rather help you get the right part the first time than process a return.
