Thanks... It was long process but it's done. I am going to pursue BMW for the repair bill as there is NO WAY that the engine should have failed at 60K miles with a bad rod bearing. The engine had a defect from manufacture date of December 2007 that took it 60K miles to finally break. I'm convinced it was a clearance issue that was outside of tolerances and just not caught in time and too expensive to recall so BMW opted to do nothing for us.

Do you mind posting this under the Engine section (seems more pertinent there).
Also, it's great that you are pursuing BMW for the cost of repairs. You might want to checkout this thread regarding a class action lawsuit. http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1161033 Please keep us posted on your battle with BMW. Good luck.

bmw doesn't give a shit. your car is 7 years old, and has 60k miles. you can't really think bmw is going to re-reimburse you... no hard feelings, but you sound like you need a reality check. |

This. Your car is old. It may have even been produced in 2007 which makes it 8 years old. I feel bad but they probably won't set an precedent by kicking you a check. Especially after you have it rebuilt twice by a non BMW mechanic.

60,000 miles is pretty unreasonable. |

If this was a $15,000 car that would be one thing but this car was originally purchased for ~$65k+ and damn right it should last more than 60,000 miles.... |
