OP, sorry to hear about your troubles on a brand new car. I'm going to assume they are going to at least give you an extended warranty on the engine? That's what I'd try to work out with them.
The car sounded awful in the video. Uh oh. So what was the fix? Under warranty?

If it were me, I'd be looking for BMW to replace the vehicle....no negotiations.

Update:
I talked to my SA today and she said that they still haven't found the problem and are going through the PUMA process. They have taking pictures of the valve springs and valves to send back to BMWNA to help them diagnose the problem. No definitive answer of the problem. Oh and the engine is officially out of the car! Why they had to take it out I don't know but I have read another thread here with about a member who had a valve spring problem and they didn't have to take the engine out. Obviously I'm not an expert though.

Tell them to slip a stroked Dinan motor in when they drop the motor back in.
Seriously tho, sorry about the bad luck, but I'm sure BMW will make it right. In the meantime at least you have a nice loaner. |

I like where your heads at! Yeah like the 7 series but obviously would rather have my M. It is surprisingly quick for a big car!

Im guessing yes but, they haven't given me a definitive answer yet. I don't think they know what the hell the problem is. The car went in 1/7/13 the engine was taking out 1/10/13 according to this time frame they have had four days to break the engine down and diagnose the problem. Im willing to bet they will have the car all next week. Very frustrating to not have any answers yet!

Lemon laws vary by state. You can't just walk in to a dealership and ask them for a whole new car off the bat. Side note, I hope you get your car together in one piece.
I'd second the idea of asking for extended warranty. It is definitely better than a month's payment unless you're leasing the car and you turn it in before warranty ends. :P Hope the best. |

My car is still at the dealer and I still haven't heard anything back about what might be wrong. I am going to make a trip to the dealership tomorrow and talk to the tech and see if he can tell me anything. I also want to take some pictures to keep around in case I need them. On a more positive note I got a phone call from a gentleman BWMNA to see if there was anything they could do for me. I asked for compensation for the time I didn't have the car and an extended powertrain warranty.

Keep us posted man! Hope it all works out for the better. If you get lemon law status (which is incredibly hard and a PITA), ask for a lime rock E92, FO FREE. And maybe some waffle fries. |

It's pretty positive that BMW NA called you to make this right, looks like they're really going to track your progress and work this out to your satisfaction. Sorry to hear this especially with a brand new car, but hey, at least you have the 740i and see how the other side lives
One question, did you have ZERO problems until the 4900+ mile point where the Engine Failure happened? |

I decided to buy. Like many other members of the forum I wanted one of the last and best V8 engines BMW will probably produce.

I would expect or hope BMW NA would just authorize a new S65, drop it in and call it a day. Let them take apart the errant unit on their own time.

I just picked up 2 weeks ago, 300 mi on the car and nothing yet. This scares me though.
Between this and the "Ticking" that some e92 develop after 1200 mi, I'm getting paranoid. OP sorry to hear, what did BMWNA say about extended warranty/ half monthly payment? |
