I agree. I would put the car in the garage or since you are in Miami under a shade tree and start trouble shoting the engine. I would not accept the 3 opinions. Without arun down of what specifically, has failed. Most things on these engines are fixable.
Do you have any idea so far what might have failed.
I was told back in november that I needed anew vanos and head. I took it to another mechanic. He put in a new vanos sensor, then cleared the code. I've put 4800 miles since...no problems since.
It's worth trouble shooting, I think.
