Yes, I agree that there are degrees of used, and at that point I guess it's up to BMW's engineers to develop solid tests and tolerances -- but unless someone here happens to know what those are and is qualified to cast an opinion on them, that's a pretty moot point.

If I'm getting my engine replaced, I wouldn't want a used one. The engine in my car being used since it has been driven has zero relevance to the point in question. I know what has been done to my engine, a fact that I would not be privy to if it were being replaced with a reman. Why do you think there is a price difference when you buy a new motor versus a reman motor if you think they are identical?
