Remanufactured MINI Engines That Bring Back the Fun

When your MINI Cooper starts losing its signature punch, you don’t need a new car—you need a professionally remanufactured MINI engine. Engineered to OEM standards and tested for precision, our remanufactured engines restore that distinctive go-kart feel MINI is famous for—without the new engine price tag.

Unlike used or junkyard motors, remanufactured MINI engines are fully rebuilt, using new or reconditioned OEM-grade components, advanced machining, and dyno testing. Every unit is backed by a comprehensive warranty to ensure years of reliable performance.

Whether you drive a MINI Cooper, Countryman, Clubman, or Paceman, our remanufactured engines deliver the perfect balance of power, efficiency, and personality.


What Makes a Remanufactured MINI Engine Different?

A remanufactured engine is more than a repair—it’s a complete re-engineering. Each MINI engine is stripped to the bare block, precision-machined, and reassembled to meet factory specifications.

Our remanufacturing process includes:

  • Deep cleaning and crack inspection of block & heads
  • Replacement of pistons, rings, and bearings
  • New oil pump, gaskets, and timing components
  • Rebuilt or new cylinder heads & camshafts
  • Comprehensive pressure, compression & dyno testing

Once completed, the result is a like-new engine with OEM-grade fitment and dependability—ready to install and enjoy.

Warranty coverage ranges from 12 months up to 5 years, depending on model and usage—personal, fleet, or commercial.

Cost Benefits

A remanufactured MINI engine offers significant savings without compromise.
Average pricing:

  • MINI Cooper S 1.6L Turbo: $2,800–$3,900

  • MINI Clubman 2.0L (B48/B46): $3,200–$4,600

Because each engine is VIN-matched and pre-tested, installation is faster and more cost-effective than with used or salvage motors.

When Should You Replace Your MINI Engine?

Common engine issues that may require replacement include:

  • Timing chain failure (common in N14/N18 engines)
  • Oil consumption or turbo seal leaks
  • Overheating or head gasket damage
  • Low compression or rod bearing failure
  • Sludge build-up or oil starvation
  • Engine misfire or loss of power

A remanufactured engine eliminates the root causes—offering long-term reliability and performance peace of mind.

Eco-Friendly & Sustainable

Choosing a remanufactured MINI engine supports sustainability by recycling core materials and reducing waste. Each remanufactured unit saves hundreds of pounds of metal and reduces CO₂ emissions compared to manufacturing new engines.
