I am missing something here. There is something I am not understanding. So initially your dealer gave you an offer of $3K towards a new vehicle purchase. Now with this offer, would you be able to trade the X5 in and combine the total towards the new purchase?

Now later, you are saying the dealer withdrew their initial offer and was instructed by BMW NA to give you a replacement motor which is in the ballpark of $13K. (I actually think it is more than that. I think a new motor is $16K if I'm not mistaken) and then the labor on top of that. SO your total could be around $18K to $20K for a new motor. But you are hesitant for them to put a new motor in. What is your concern? Why do you think it is a bad idea to put a new motor in a 7 year old SAV?

In my honest opinion, if BMWNA is offering to put a new motor in, I would run with it. I don't know if you have a 4.8 or 4.4 motor but it is a new motor! No matter how many miles you have on it. Now could their be glitches when putting in a new motor? Sure, but you are under CPO and the motor will come with a warranty. Any problems relating to it will be fixed within the time frame.

If you chose not to keep it after it is fixed, you can sell it. Take the cash and buy another vehicle.

Enlighten me because I am not understanding.
