Hack Engineering was founded in 2013 by Ben Koflach after years of struggling to find a knowledgeable, reliable parts supplier in the UK while building his S54-swapped E36 Touring track car.

At the time working in the historic motorsport industry, Ben carried these skills forward into opening the first Hack Engineering workshop (Barcombe, Sussex) in 2016 to increase stockholding and also to offer VANOS rebuilds and other engine work for BMW M cars.

Hack Engineering Machine Shop was formed in 2018; by moving machine work in-house, engine-building became ever more prominent in Hack Engineering’s offerings and it has continued to grow rapidly ever since.

Through continued success with engine and vehicle preparation for fast road, track and race use, Hack Engineering has grown to where it stands today. Workshop, engine building and machine shop facilities have all grown extensively, while parts supply and warehousing continues to offer the finest components available to customers all over the world – with the expertise to back it up. Hack Engineering is the powerhouse that Ben had aimed for, and will continue to grow in size and facilities for years to come.

Big staff changes, and indeed a change of skill sets, at the end of 2022 moved the focus of Hack Engineering. 2023 brings new facilities to the business on the electronics side; covering engine management services such as remapping, and also expanding the BMW specialist servicing side of the business. The web shop continues to grow, with the whole business working in harmony for an even greater customer experience.

After a decade in business and a huge amount of learning and development, it became time to hunker down and push the company forwards with a refreshed and renewed vision – back to where it started with the product sales and development taking the foreground, while still carrying out specialist BMW repairs and upgrades from an exciting new Uckfield location.
