So the computer said to stop the engine, yet you persisted, restarted and drove it anyways? You sound like the same kind of negligent owners who are ruining 7 series resale values by letting them goto crap w/o maintaining them. You should just cut your losses and sell it to someone else who will actually maintain it wince that quote is more than what its worth.$18,000 engine vs $50 tow charge....Anyways. I was able to get a rebuild and modified engine from Bavarian Engine Exchange & Rebuilt BMW Parts and was installed and out the door for around $11k. $18,000 is rediculous and you're being rapped, so I don't even wanna know where you drove it to.
