Lex, sorry to hear it. Been thinking about local options for you. I spoke with the guys over at DJ Auto on University, they have rebuilt M/N62 motors in the past. Their head tech has been doing BMWs for 17.5 years.

There is also a guy on this forum that runs a BMW parts biz up north a ways. Or, Matt down at Bavarian Motorhaus(?) in Elko. I'm thinking a used head or worse case used 4.4 motor would be an option.

Hugely tragic occurrence, but I'm thinking the costs to repair could be mitigated if you can source used parts locally.

If you ever want to compare notes, call/text me. 952 334 22ninetynine.

Dan
