Has anyone come across an issue with oil pump failing without warning on E90 320i! Mine went in for a oil service at a local garage last week. Its done 87k running fine until I went to pick it up. Started the car up within 30 secs oil light came on. Shortly after its started to sound like a old diesel and them should a tapping noise. Showed it to the mechanic who was confused to why it was asking for more oil when it was full. After a few hours the mechanic decided to stick it back on the ramp and take sump of etc.... Anyway now the engine will not start and have been told I need a new engine.
This is all very strange and don't understand why this would happen. I have had BMW's in the past and loved them to bits, but this have totally put me right off them. Any suggestions would be helpful to whats best way to sort this issue out.
Also would it be okay putting in a 318i N43 engine as in the car if it comes too me paying to sort the issue out.
