Common Problems

BMW M2 Engine Problems
What It Costs to Fix & When Replacement Makes Sense

The F87 and G87 M2 are defined by their turbocharged straight-six engines - the N55, S55, and S58. While fundamentally robust, each has well-documented failure points that can lead to significant repair bills or full replacement. Below, we break down the most common BMW M2 engine problems by engine family, with real UK costs for dealer vs specialist repairs, and honest advice on when a rebuilt engine with upgraded internals offers the best value. Every rebuilt engine supplied through EngineMarket includes upgraded components designed to address the original failure point - plus a minimum 12-month unlimited mileage warranty.

Affected Models

BMW M2 Competition, M2 CS (F87, 2018-2021, S55B30A & S55B30T0)

Typical Failure Mileage

20,000 - 60,000 miles (can occur on stock or tuned engines)

Root Cause

The crank hub is attached to the crankshaft via friction alone, not a keyway. Sudden load changes - aggressive downshifts or high-rpm launches - can cause the hub to spin on the crank, jumping timing and allowing valves to contact pistons.

Minor - Preventative Crank Hub Fix - Capture hub + bolt upgrade
Dealer
£2,500 - £3,500
Specialist
£1,800 - £2,500

Fit aftermarket pinned or captured hub design without removing engine

Permanent prevention if done proactively. Best for tuned or track-used cars
Intermediate - Timing Correction & Hub Replacement - Post-spin (no piston contact)
Dealer
£5,000 - £7,000
Specialist
£3,500 - £5,000

Remove oil pan, timing components, replace hub, re-time engine

Successful only if spin detected immediately and no valve contact occurred
Full Replacement - Rebuilt S55 Engine - With upgraded hub
Dealer
£12,000 - £16,000
Specialist
£7,500 - £12,000

Supply & fit fully rebuilt S55 with captured/pinned hub, bench tested, 12-month warranty

Permanent solution. Required if valves bent or cylinder damage present
Our Recommendation
Best next step for bmw m2 s55 crank hub failure

If your M2 Competition or CS is still running fine, proactively fitting a crank hub capture kit is excellent value at around £2,000 from a specialist. If the hub has already spun, have a borescope inspection performed immediately. If valves hit pistons, skip the intermediate repair - a rebuilt engine with an upgraded hub is the only reliable long-term fix. On an M2 worth £25,000-£45,000, £7,500-£10,000 for a properly rebuilt S55 makes financial sense.

FAQ

BMW M2 Engine ReplacementFrequently Asked Questions

Question 1

How much does a BMW M2 engine replacement cost in the UK?

A BMW M2 replacement engine typically costs £3,200-£10,500 supply-only, depending on engine code (N55, S55 or S58) and condition type.

Key points

  • N55 M2 (2016-2018): rebuilt units £3,200-£6,800
  • S55 M2 Competition (2018-2021): rebuilt units £4,500-£8,500
  • S55 M2 CS (2020-2021): rebuilt units £5,500-£10,000

  • Add £600-£1,200 for specialist supply and fit nationwide
Compare BMW M2 engine replacement prices from UK specialists

Question 2

Is the BMW M2 S55 crank hub failure really that common?

Yes - the S55 crank hub spin is the most documented failure on M2 Competition and CS models, affecting both stock and tuned cars between 20,000-60,000 miles .

Key points

  • OE design lacks a physical keyway - hub held by friction only
  • Aggressive downshifts or high-rpm launches can cause timing slip
  • Preventative pinned or captured hub fix costs £1,800-£2,500 fitted
  • Post-failure repair often requires full engine replacement at £7,500+
  • G87 S58 engine uses redesigned single-piece hub - issue resolved
Get quotes for S55 crank hub preventative fix or rebuilt engine

Question 3

What are the most common BMW M2 N55 engine problems?

On the 2016-2018 N55-powered M2, the most common failures are cracked charge pipes (sudden boost loss and limp mode), ignition coil misfires, and oil leaks from ageing gaskets .

Key points

  • Plastic charge pipe cracks under boost - upgraded aluminium pipe is permanent fix
  • Ignition coil failure causes hesitation and rough idle - £170 average replacement
  • Valve cover and oil filter housing gaskets leak - £200-£350 repair
  • Electric water pump failure can cause overheating - £327 average replacement
  • VANOS solenoid wear affects cam timing on higher-mileage units
Compare N55 M2 repair costs or replacement engine prices

Question 4

Which BMW M2 engine is most reliable - N55, S55 or S58?

The S58 in the G87 M2 is mechanically the most robust, having resolved the S55's crank hub vulnerability. The N55 is reliable with one cheap preventative fix, while the S55 needs a crank hub upgrade for peace of mind .

Key points

  • S58 (G87): single-piece crank hub, closed-deck block, excellent tuning potential
  • N55 (F87): reliable if charge pipe upgraded to aluminium (£400-£550)
  • S55 (Competition/CS): fundamentally strong but crank hub fix is essential
  • All three engines regularly exceed 100,000 miles with proper maintenance
  • G87 still too new for long-term failure data, early signs positive
Compare rebuilt prices across N55, S55 and S58 BMW M2 engines

Question 5

Can I tune my BMW M2 engine safely, and what are the risks?

Yes - all three M2 engines respond well to tuning, but the S55 requires a crank hub fix before adding power. The S58 offers substantial gains with proper supporting mods .

Key points

  • N55: stage 1 remap safe with aluminium charge pipe fitted
  • S55: DO NOT tune without pinned crank hub - stock cars already spin hubs
  • S58: highly tunable - 500-600+ hp achievable with software and bolt-ons
  • Always use a specialist BMW tuner, not a generic remap
  • Factor in upgraded cooling for track use
Get quotes for tuned BMW M2 engine builds and supporting modifications

Question 6

How long does a BMW M2 engine last before needing replacement?

A well-maintained BMW M2 engine typically lasts 100,000-150,000 miles. The N55 and S55 need preventative fixes around 50,000-80,000 miles to reach higher mileage reliably .

Key points

  • N55: charge pipe upgrade by 60,000 miles prevents cascade failures
  • S55: crank hub fix recommended by 50,000 miles or before tuning
  • Regular oil changes every 5,000-6,000 miles (not BMW's 12,000-mile interval)
  • Track use significantly accelerates wear - more frequent servicing required
  • Many F87 M2s now exceeding 80,000 miles on original engines

Question 7

Is it worth replacing the engine in an older BMW M2, or should I sell?

On an F87 M2 worth £18,000-£45,000, spending £4,000-£9,000 on a rebuilt engine with upgraded components is financially sensible compared to selling with a failed engine.

Key points

  • Car with failed engine loses 40-60% of market value
  • Rebuilt N55: £3,200-£6,800 - adds 80,000+ miles of life
  • Rebuilt S55 with crank hub fix: £4,500-£8,500 - eliminates factory weakness
  • Specialist rebuild includes upgraded components and 12-24 month warranty
  • Lower cost than £12,000-£16,000 dealer replacement or buying another M2
Compare rebuilt vs used BMW M2 engine prices for your budget

Question 8

What causes oil leaks on the BMW M2, and how much to fix?

Ageing gaskets - particularly the valve cover, oil filter housing and oil pan - are the primary cause of oil leaks on the F87 M2, typically appearing from 50,000 miles onward .

Key points

  • Valve cover gasket leak (£200-£350) - burning oil smell most common sign
  • Oil filter housing gasket failure can contaminate serpentine belt
  • Oil pan gasket leak requires subframe lowering - higher labour cost
  • Ignoring leaks leads to low oil pressure and potential engine failure
  • G87 too new for gasket age-related issues
Get BMW M2 oil leak repair quotes or replacement engine prices

Question 9

What's the difference between reconditioned, rebuilt and used M2 engines?

Rebuilt engines are fully disassembled and machined with new parts - the premium choice. Reconditioned means inspected and worn parts replaced to factory spec. Used engines are tested donor units with existing mileage .

Key points

  • Rebuilt: fully machined, new pistons/rings/bearings, upgraded failure points - £4,200-£9,500
  • Reconditioned: factory-spec rebuild with OEM parts - £3,800-£7,500
  • Used: tested donor engine, lowest cost but unknown history - £2,500-£5,500
  • Remanufactured: 'better than new' with blueprinted assembly - £5,000-£11,000
  • All types include 12-24 month warranty when sourced through our network
Compare all BMW M2 engine condition types and prices side by side

Question 10

Should I use a BMW dealer or independent specialist for M2 engine work?

For routine maintenance either works, but for engine replacement or S55 crank hub work, a BMW specialist offers better value - typically 30-50% lower labour rates and proven experience with M engines .

Key points

  • Dealer labour: £150-£250/hour - OEM parts only
  • Specialist labour: £70-£120/hour - can fit upgraded parts like pinned hubs
  • Specialists often offer supply & fit packages with combined warranty
  • Many specialists have direct S55 crank hub fix experience - dealers may not
