People seem to think a BMW dealers pre-owned sales group is better than two guys in a trailer with plastic flags strung up over the lot.

It isnt.

Elmhurst could have done quite a bit for you, including a BMW backed powertrain warranty that would have covered this defect.

As with so many aftermarket warranties, they look great on paper- a waste of money by and large. Id always go for a BMW backed plan...always, always. alwys

Elmhurst clearly has done their part in earning a reputation as scumbags......

Glad you have a new motor for a decent spend. Enjoy.
