This is after the insurance adjuster was told that their turn-around was 1-2 weeks. So now that option has gone out the window!
So what does BMW have for a plan B? How about a used motor with 46XXX miles on it WITHOUT a warranty. So lets to a fast speed replay on all the events that have taken place since March! I took my car into BMW for an oil change, they Fu** up my engine, they try to total my vehicle, that backfires and they try to get a used motor, the company they were getting the motor from pulled a bait and switch, they send a foreign motor from god knows where to BMW with out markings, vin etc., we deny the motor, they (the insurance company) takes a month to figure out what is going to happen, they come to a decision to rebuild the motor with option A (BMW rebuilds it and I pay $1750) or B (Bavarian auto recycling rebuilds it with a 5 year warranty), we choose option B (obviously), that falls through because it would take 3 months to get my engine back to BMW, Then BMW tries to step backwards and offer us another used motor with 46xxx miles and with out a warranty, we would not accept anything less than a rebuilt motor (total engine overhaul), they all of a sudden find a brand new engine in some where in the country that is brand new with 0 miles and if they cannot get their hands on that, then they are going to order one straight out of Germany (this I their promise) we will see if they deliver.

It *could* be time to have a lawyer send a registered letter to the dealership talking " the mental trauma that you have endured and loss of work inured by this whole mess " and how they are taking advantage of you "
So horrible!!
If it helps any... we are all here with you and hope the best
