At paying over 15K USD I do not know how happy I would be. But at least his motor will be a 2011.

15k isn't a bad deal for a new engine
Porsche 997 and 996 engines are about the same, and there has been slot of failures of the the 996 due to the ISB. I had one go at 42k and Porsche wasn't so nice. |

You obviously have NO idea how the BMW DME works. You can run these cars totally catless and experience ZERO detonation. Now if you did that with a turbo engine (ie: Subaru STI), then yes it would most likely cause detonation due to leaner conditions and increased boost.

I would stay away of a car with a replaced engine, on the assumption that the car have seen some serious beating....but that's only my opinion, and usually I stay away of second hand cars unless I know the owner and the car very well.

Anyway, good luck with the replacement - good to see BMW being cooperative. Let us know what the cause was. |

It is possible they said nothing....they have been known to do that in the past.

As I can surely say - both is false. What i can say that we have damn cold winters, a lot of cold starts, also pushed the car(engine is made for that), but servise always on time... And one more thing - we have low quality fuel in Lithuania. 98(93us) is like 91 in terms of quality. There is a story - F612 fuel injectors went bad (some of them) after 400km of break in becouse of fuel as ferrari claimed( i know the car) So, maybe in worst conditions engine just lasted 95k km's maybe if i was not the one to drive the car why it's made for,it could last another 95 Last edited by z00m; 05-10-2011 at 06:11 PM.. |

If it shot a rod (which is appears to have done from all the oil), it appears to be a rod bearing failure. The only other realistic things that I think could have happened would be low oil level/pressure (oil pump failure?), overheating (causing a piston to seize), or a mis-shift (exceeding the max rpm). The DME would reveal all of these conditions as it "records" the last xx seconds of operation. I would THINK if they did not warranty the engine 100%, they would have some reason behind it. If it happened to me, I would make damn sure they had proof if was my fault and not a mechanical break-down of some sort (oil pump failure, rod bearing failure, etc.).

If they were making ME pay 50% of a $20k+ Engine -- I would want to see MAJOR PROOF of my mishap. OP -- what did BMW show you, that made you say: "OK I'll pay the 50% of the engine, since I did fk it up"?????????? |
