WTF!!!

I specifically purchase my BMW's from enthusiasts and people with money who always service at the dealership. So I know the vehicle has gotten the specialized service/attention it needs. I had a PPI done and no red flags. I have a binder full of service history.

I've been a card carrying member of the BMWCCA for 8 years. And owned several BMW's and I have never experienced anything even close to this level of severe catastrophic engine failure on a vehicle with absolutely no warning signs...

How do I ever trust BMW again?
Use your dealer to help you get something from BMWNA, he wants your business and will go to bat for you. BMWNA may throw something towards the repair. Ask the dealer then for some additional discount. If you don't ask, you won't know? Worst case they say no.

I know in many cases they said yes and offered something. If you are not prepared to have your car fixed at the dealer, you can kiss whatever they might be able to get you from BMWNA goodbye. Good luck and report back.
