Are they allowed to put one with more miles than he had? If so that's bullshit.

Quick update. This process isn't going as smooth as it was seeming. Dealership called me and said the inspector from the warranty company wants them to take the oil pan off and see if anything caused this issue that would get them out of covering it. Dealership told me that they would pretty much just be looking for sludge or any indicator that the car wasn't maintained properly. Service records are pretty spot on, and I've had the car for a month, so there is no way I did anything wrong, as far as servicing goes. The guy at the dealership feels very confident that everything will be getting taken care of by the warranty company, but I can't help but feel a bit nervous about this whole situation. I should find out Friday what the next move is.

Update for anyone curious as to what's going on, or what the cause of my engine failure is.
My SA just contacted me, they have removed the oil pan and discovered that the bearing carrier broke. He says the inspector will be back on Friday, and that there is no way the warranty company can deny this. No signs of neglect or abuse. So, looks like everything should be good to go. Now I'm just hoping for a brand new motor vs. a used one. I'll update when I have any news. |

If they still have the oil pan open for the warranty company to check out, see if they can take any pictures of what they are referencing and post them here. Very curious to see if this is bearing related.

I've also contacted a lemon law attorney to see what options I have there, considering I bought the car a little more than a month ago (dealer has had it for almost two weeks). Maybe I can wipe my hands clean of this situation and start fresh. Well we will see what happens. If anyone has any input, I would greatly appreciate it. |

BMW called me again and said that they found a used motor with 52k on the odometer, same as I have now, and the cost to do it all will be under the maximum amount the warranty company will pay. I'm thinking that this might be my best option as of now. |

MSRP for the full assembly (new) is $22k. Reman (by BMW) is just under $16k. And neither of those include whatever additional parts (turbo?) are needed, along with labor which is ~$200+ per hour at BMW dealers
