Indy shop can't diagnose the issue.

1. 07' E90 w/101k miles. Some engine ticking, some leaked oil in the driveway, and an occasional "service light" pop up, but otherwise no other warnings or lights. (Indy found no codes or issues).

2. Months later, serpentine belt blows while driving. Shredded pieces & oil all over engine/bay.

3. Have car towed to indy. Belt replaced. Engine bay cleaned out.

4. Engine ticking/noise is worse. Indy swapped out a spare oil pump switch, and that didn't do anything. They've never seen anything like this, and are saying they don't want to run the car for fear it will damage the engine.

5. Help? Advice? Anyone with a similar experience?
Engine is toast my friend. it probably pulled the belt in the engine some and ruined a bunch of stuff. This was a problem on 07 cars.
