Most Porsche engines will never reach catastrophic failure when following the factory OEM or Bavarian Rensport’s service and maintenance schedule. In the case that a failure does occur the possibilities of faults can range from the vehicles internal components suffering from a cooling system failure or an oil starvation problem. When the engine components fail it will result in a non-operable vehicle that will require a factory crate or remanufactured engine. When replacing an engine, it’s important that you choose the right replacement option based on your needs of the vehicle. Will you be selling the vehicle after the repairs are finished or are you keeping it in the family till the wheels fall off? Bavarian Rennsport understands that clients will have different needs and budgets, as well as other constraints (warranty coverage, for instance) which is why we offer to either, have the engine rebuilt or install a new one.
The best option will always be a Porsche crate engine straight from the dealership. Crate engines are more expensive than remanufactured engines, but they’re guaranteed to be in OEM condition and have a factory warranty that could allow the vehicle to last twice its expected life expectancy. A crate engine will have the same lifespan as the engine in a car just rolling off the assembly line, therefore a crate engine will be the best long-term solution for customers who plan to keep their car for as long as possible.
A rebuilt engine involves removing the engine from the vehicle and completely disassembling it. Once the engine has been disassembled, cleaned, and inspected, all damaged parts are replaced with new or refurbished replacement parts. All new gaskets, seals, and lubricants are used in the assembly of the rebuilt engine that will meet Porsche OEM standards. The most common components to be replaced include bearings, gaskets, seals, timing belt or chain, valve springs, and the oil pump. Major parts are replaced only if they are needed, and often include camshafts, crankshafts, and pistons. In the most severe cases, we will have to machine parts that have been exposed to excessive heat causing them too warp and not align with their corresponding parts. The advantages of rebuilding an engine are the connectivity and compatibility with the existing ECU and electrical system. The ECU is programmed to communicate with the engine originally installed in the vehicle. When a new engine is installed the ECU may have problems connecting and communicating with the new engine. When the engine has problems communicating to the vehicle it will require either a reprogramming of the ECU or replacement. A remanufactured engine option is a great option for vehicle owners that don’t plan on keeping the vehicle or possibly trading it in because it will have service reports and a 2-year 24,000-mile warranty.

The reality is that while BMWs can be a joy to own and drive, they can also be more than a little scary to maintain. The team at Bavarian Rennsport has been great at taking that anxiety away. They have always been honest, forthright, and willing to take time to discuss options and the details of the diagnosis. They have also taken time to discuss all sorts of additional questions related to upgrades, and even helping me decide whether to keep the car or move on to something else. Shawn in particular has spent extensive time on the phone discussing options and the virtues of one car over another. Chaz and Jeremy are also two individuals I’ve worked with extensively, and they’ve constantly been knowledgable and patient. Great shop and great team.
i drove from Atlanta to Jacksonville to buy a Ferrari F430, i wanted a pre purchase inspection done , since it was a Sunday no shop was opened, i goggled Ferrari repair shops and Bavarian popped up, called and left them a message , Sunday night. I got a call from Chad the next morning, they were able to accommodate me on short notice, excellent customer service, they checked out the Ferrari on my behalf, and emailed me a copy of the report. They did a great job. will definitely do business with them again.
Every experience I’ve had with Bavarian Rennsport has been outstanding. Customer service is second to none. I have nothing but good things to say about their shop, their staff, and their service. I would recommend them to anyone.
I am the proud owner of a 2004 BMW Z-4, 3.0i with only 42K miles.My nightmare started when the transmission died and had the car taken to Bavarian Rennsport. After a new transmission from BMW we thought that all is well and on our way, two weeks later car died transmission light on, car will not move, burned out module,which was replaced,the car only went a short distance shuts down again. Sent car to BMW diagnostic they said burned out dash board need replaced at a cost of thousands. Shawn the owner said that cant be, and he will find the cause, they spent thousand of their dollars to figure out what was the cause.A burned out door sensor that told the transmission the doors are open and the car should go into park mode, if you keep driving you rip up the transmission.NO ONE COULD FIND THIS CAUSE THEY DID. What was my cost I paid for the module, they absorbed the rest. What a stand up company, no other place to take your BMW.
Since I relocated to Jax, the Bavarian Renns sport team take great care of my 2001 Porsche….They are very honest, knowledgeable, professional and top qualified technicians. Highly recommended!!
Thanks,
Ric
I am new to the Bavarian family. My first experience was them working on my all original 1973 2002 Tii a couple of months ago. Communication was great and the work was done in a timely manner. Because of this experience, I trusted them to pick up my new addition to the family last week, 1976 S14 2002. It was a flawless experience. Will get it back to you this week to tidy up some loose ends. Can’t thank you enough for the communication and timeliness of your work.

My relationship with Bavarian Rennsport began with me calling them not knowing what was going on with my car. They quickly had my car towed to the shop, started diagnostics and later that week gave me a full understanding of what was going on with my car. After a short period of time, the car was fixed and I was on the road again. I was able to leave with piece of mind and confidence in The condition of the car. The team at Rennsport is truly like no other. They treated me like family, kept me updated on the condition of the car, reassured me when I was overwhelmed, and conducted business in a very professional manor. I am blessed that my car was taken to Rennsport rather than any other shop or dealer. This team is comprised of true BMW enthusiasts who are passionate of the work that they do. They went above and beyond and their exceptional work shows in my car. I will continue to conduct business with them and I greatly appreciate everything they have done for me and my car.
Had my wife’s AMG GLE Coupe serviced at Bavarian Rennsport today. What a really nice, professional, and efficient crew. They did awesome work and the car was completed on time as promised. I am so pleased, I will be introducing my other vehicle to Bavarian Rennsport in the form of an oil change hopefully tomorrow or Friday (and it’s not due yet). 🙂 If you want first class service at a business that’s well versed in high-end vehicles, I highly recommend this establishment.
