BMW in germany did nothing to this. They just said it's out of warranty and did'nt even properly explained what caused that engine failure.
Engine from ebay with no garanties stands about the same price as new one with 50% off from dealer.
The new clutch is like free of charge for me. I insisted coz don't want that chain effect

Anyways can't wait to get back to M, and maybe '11 engine will be running smoother
Definitely not as bad as it could have been! Also, with a new engine your car might be worth a bit more if/when you go to sell it. Hopefully you can recoup some of that cost. I know I would pay a bit more for a used M3 if I knew it had a newer engine in it.
