Not sure where he went. He was doing more with the data, trying to figure out patterns/trends for engine failure

There was a very light tick at cold start but car has exhaust as I mentioned before, so very hard to hear any ticking on cold start . Should be ready next week. I totally understand you have to "pay to play"... But the car was dct and even with the tune I never once hit fuel cut or went above 8.3-8.4k. On top of that its a newer s65 with less than 20k miles . The motor gave out while I was cruising at 5k rpm on the freeway. It drove absolutely the same. Only difference was I felt a slight shaking and let off the gas, second I did so the car completely shut off . It was a pretty scary situation. Guessing the rod went through the motor.. Next day found oil under the car before it went to BMW . Back to the n54 for me =P haha .

Can you help the community and take 5 minutes to file a complaint with NHTSA since it happened while you were driving? It's really the best way to apply pressure to BMW to fix this.
