That was my question as well. I understand a BMW dealer saying you should go do this.....

There is a long thread on this board about a failed 4.8. The dealer made a mistake on a service, and accepted responsibility. They talked about a used engine for a long time. Eventually, they brought a new crate engine in from Germany. I seem to recall that it took 4 months or so.
