Which engine? I believe the diesel requires a different BMW LL rating than the gasoline engines. I use Elf Excellium which is now Total Quartz in my BMWs.

Here's my take on it, as said before the key is going to be the surface prep and using the proper adhesion promoters and flex agents.

I agree, it should be expensive enough to repair that it will be totaled. It's pretty substantial damage to the unibody and I'm sure the driveline received a substantial amount of damage as well.

I'm pretty confident it's a gear whine. It's not directly related to engine speed. It is related to road speed. Even if I down shift a gear the sound still happens at 50MPH.

I'm pretty confident it's not tire noise. It changes pitch when you are on or off the gas to maintain a constant speed. They are the OEM bridgestones and have less than 2K miles on them.

Gear Whine
