BMW is going to replace engine ---misfiring issue

[nra4.8is]

Put a motor in it and stop crying over spilled milk.... Your not the only person on the planet with a misfiring valvetronic V8... And asking them to put the motor value towards a new car is unreasonable. You paid for cpo warranty through the purchase of the vehicle, and that is what you should get. Just be lucky BMW isn't making continue with this motor untill they fix it

Yeah, I don't know why that SA would say it is not a good idea. What would be the drawback? Now when you say "Additional repairs not covered under CPO" what are they saying isn't covered? In my understanding, a CPO warranty is pretty much a standard warranty. I don't know this dealership sounds fishy to me.

my concern is that this is going to be somewhat of a waste. I will not keep it for more than a few years. They are also telling me that i would need $2.5k of additional repairs( not under warranty).. if i look at the numbers, I will be better off with a new purchase that will come with warranty for at least 3 years.

i have 4.4 engine

they are not fishy as far as warranty is concerned. my CPO expired last year. Engine issue was still under warranty though.

they are suggesting following repairs. front lower control arms , front thrust arm bushings,the axles. according to them axle boots are torn. they wont chaarge me labor for axle replacement as engine will be already out.

if I get the engine replaced and other repairs done, what could potentially go wrong over next 3 years.

$2500 for the items mentioned? Those have nothing to with an engine replacement. Be assertive in saying if they plan on doing the motor, then just do the motor. Axles, fine, but the other 2 items have no correlation to the motor replacement.

Depends on what you mean by "go wrong". I think you want to expect to need to refresh everything in the cooling system and everything in the steering and suspension system in that time frame. Maybe timing chain guide rails. Those would be prudent maintenance expectations to me, but I suppose some would put it all in the "go wrong" bucket.

If CPO 'expired last year', how is potential new engine covered? Having trouble understand the OP's thread....

If it really is a new engine installed and made to run with all the gizmo systems involved, I would suggest the OP take the deal, even if he is only going to drive it a few more years.

As for the suspension stuff, et al, it's probably the dlr trying to recoup some costs or make some more dough.

I concur with mD. Well, I am not doubting the new motor. Doesn't bmw give a 12/mo 12K warranty on the motor or is that just for parts? But I agree, having trouble understanding of CPO is expired how is the engine covered? unless a case was opened before the CPO ran out?

They're just trying to get money from you. Almost every time that you take a vehicle to the dealer, they'll try to get you on any additional repairs possible. Just get the CA's/bushings done by an indy.
