Dealer Blows my 4.8is engine!

[Bnagy4.8]

Agreed, all I ask is that I have what I went into the dealership in the first place which is a perfectly running car in every way shape and form. what I do expect is that the engine has at least a partial service warranty due to the issue of an engine that is foreign to the car. Or I expect to have full service records for the engine so that I can prove that the engine was treated just as fairly as that engine that I had received in the first place on paper. I will not accept an engine that has significantly more miles than my current vehicle and I will not accept any "as is" properties to a foreign engine being put into my car.

I do trust BMW Northwest but my concern is that if the engine blows after a year of driving it then my peace of mind that my previous engine would've never blown in this situation. There are a lot of "what if" questions but we will see how the end result plays out.

Everyone is speculating here. I would not want to accept this offer for now until you find out your legal rights and options from your attorney and the dealer before accepting their resolution IMO.

Unfortunately, unless I choose to press charges and file a law suit there is not much that my attorney says I can do. BMW is required to by law to bring my vehicle back to its original condition prior to me bringing my vehicle to the dealership for the oil change. BMW is required to get me an engine in good condition. According to the dealership they are searching for the engine block. All other components are going to be coming from my engine. My heads alone are $15k the blocks run about 6k used. So they will be checking out and stripping the used engine down to put my engine parts into this engine to keep it as original as possible.

My lower end is completely seized so this should be the fix. I can only hope that they don't try to pull a fast one with me. If they do then I will file charges and sue for damages.

Just trying to keep my head up.
