I have the money,

I am just attempting to get BMW or MB to help cover the cost.

BMW clearly made a mistake by not diagnosing the car correctly when I brought it in.

Another BMW mechanic at the same dealer specifically said when I first inquired about them not testing it further that the mechanic who did the job did not follow procedure. To me that is a sure sign that BMW is at some sort of fault.

Also the fact that they did not keep any record of the check engine code and that it only took twenty miles for the engine to break, suggests to me as well that this was an ongoing problem; possibly even that the reason why the original code was going off was because of the same malfunction with the engine.
