BMW 4 Series M4 Competition Engines for Sale | Engine Finders

Need a BMW 4 Series M4 Competition replacement engine? Whether you're facing S55B30 oil consumption, VANOS solenoid faults, or rod bearing wear in high-mileage examples, Engine Finders connects you with verified UK suppliers offering model-specific solutions.

BMW 4 Series M4 Competition Replacement Engines

The 4 Series M4 Competition (F82/F83, 2016-2020) exclusively uses the S55B30 3.0L twin-turbo inline-6, an evolution of the F80 M3’s powerplant with 450hp and 600Nm. Unlike standard 440i models using the B58, the M4 Competition’s S55 features forged internals, a closed-deck block, and unique oiling architecture. Common failure points include premature rod bearing wear (often before 50,000 miles under spirited use), HPFP failures (Bosch 0580454095), and VANOS solenoid clogging due to high oil temperatures. BMW Service Bulletin SIB 11 03 17 specifically addresses rod bearing inspection intervals for S55 engines in M3/M4 Competition variants. The G82 M4 Competition (2021-present) switched to the S58B30, which resolves many S55 issues but introduces new concerns like turbo wastegate rattle. This guide applies specifically to the F82/F83 4 Series M4 Competition; for broader BMW M engines, see our main overview.

BMW 4 Series M4 Competition Models - Engine Codes

The 4 Series M4 Competition is powered exclusively by high-performance petrol engines, with distinct codes across generations:

  • S55B30: 3.0L twin-turbo I6 (F82/F83, 2016-2020) - 450hp, known for rod bearing wear (OEM 11317617856) and HPFP (0580454095) failures
  • S58B30: 3.0L twin-turbo I6 (G82/G83, 2021-present) - 510hp, features improved bearings but prone to turbo wastegate rattle
  • S55B30TO: Track-focused variant (2018-2020) - includes upgraded oil cooler and reinforced internals
  • S55B30CS: Found in pre-facelift M4 Competition (2016-2017) - early units lack updated rod bearings

All M4 Competition engines are petrol-only; diesel or standard B58 engines from non-M 4 Series models are not compatible due to unique engine mounts, ECU mapping, and ancillary layouts.

Buy Used and Second-Hand BMW 4 Series M4 Competition Engines

For the M4 Competition, engine type choice is critical due to the S55’s known weaknesses:

  • Used: Low-mileage units (under 30k miles) with documented bearing service
  • Reconditioned: Includes updated rod bearings (OEM 11317617856) and HPFP (0580454095)
  • Remanufactured: Full rebuild with forged components - recommended for track use

Engine Finders only lists suppliers who verify S55-specific bearing service history or include updated components.

  • Reconditioned S58 includes forged crank (OEM 11218619992)
  • Avoid used S58 engines without HPFP cam follower upgrade

BMW 4 Series M4 Competition Replacement Engine Cost in the UK

  • Used S55B30 (F82, 2016-2020): £2,400-£3,000

Finding the Right BMW 4 Series M4 Competition Engine

  • Check VIN: 7th digit “T” = S58B30 (G82), “S” = S55B30 (F82)
  • G82 (2021+) uses different engine mounts vs F82 - not interchangeable
  • Pre-06/2022 S58 units need HPFP cam follower (OEM 13518618207)
  • Never fit S55 into G82 - ECU, oil pan, and turbo layout differ

BMW 4 Series M4 Competition Petrol vs Diesel Engines

  • M4 Competition is petrol-only - no diesel version exists
  • S58B30 requires 99 RON fuel for optimal performance - longevity
  • Petrol M4 Competition exempt from ULEZ but incurs Congestion Charge
  • Diesel “M4 Comp” listings are mislabelled 420d/430d models - verify!

Quality Assurance - Warranty

  • All S58 rebuilds include updated HPFP cam follower (13518618207)
  • Compression tested to min 12.0:1; leak-down under 8% per cylinder
  • 24-month warranty covers turbo actuators, timing chain, oil consumption
  • Verified against BMW TSB SIB 13 01 22 for HPFP failure prevention

Compare - Save on BMW 4 Series M4 Competition Engines

  • Request dyno report - S58 should produce 490+ bhp at wheels
  • Engine Finders offers £400 core refund vs typical £150 elsewhere
  • Local rebuilders often miss G82-specific turbo coolant line routing
