I may be wrong but I have a feeling that they are trying to save face with this move. As you could all agree I could of and should have taken this to the media, I could have sued for damages, I could be rolling in a brand new x5 over this issue but I wouldn't trade up the "rare" 4.8is that was only produced for 2 years with a beast engine and body style. Cant wait, I have so many plans for my ride when it comes back!  -running boards, wheels and tires, (completed new suspension), brand new engine. this one will stay in the fam for some time!
lets just hope there isn't another hiccup! |
Great news, I'm also inquired to know what they ordered, but glad to hear they are making it right by getting new from Germany, your car is rare and should be on the road for years to come now! Make sure you do frequent oil changes though so you don't encounter the blue smoke valve seal problem that others have. Still subscribed for future updates and looking forward to pics of your new engine!
