uh oh, engine died?
Was driving quite spirited with a another car, then all of a sudden my car literally just turns off, pops its self into neutral and dies. I eventually get the car to start after a jump, she moves about 5 feet and then turns off again. No CEL or anything. I have her at a shop right now, the battery life was completely toast, swapped it over and yet nothing.
It makes a sound like shes trying to turn over and turn on but doesnt, just a 1 time "zut" sound no consistent sound of trying to turn over. Im fearing the worst that the engine has been blown at 24k miles.... on my 2012 m3, pray for me friends as this is outside of warranty. |

It ranges depending on what type of engine you get (new vs used) and if you are doing the labor yourself. But budget yourself at least $15k to be safe. Sorry buddy. I know its a scary and uneasy feeling.

I think you'd have a more obvious sound if the engine was toast. That sounds like an electrical problem to me.

im hoping, when the battery was tested it was completely done for... it tries to crank the engine pretty hard when I hit the starter it just sounds like one thud trying to turn but it doesnt turn over. im not sure what other things it could be? we are going get it in the air and try to manually crank the engine over with a wrench to see what happens |

Before you do!!!!
Remove ALL aftermarket components and ensure that you've had the car for a few months/thousands of miles before claiming. They will often find any way to get out of paying out of pocket and will find a way to decline payment and force you to sue them to overturn their stance. I'm not saying that your company will do this, but the probability always goes up as the repair bill goes up. Replacing an S65 isn't a cheap undertaking. |

This is exactly what happened to mine when #1 main bearing failed. No warning, just stalled out doing about 40mph. Had to roll it into a gas station, after letting sit for a hr I finally managed to get it cranked but it was toast.
