I miss something? The dealer and BMWNA withdraw their offer?

Dude, take the motor and run, period. They are honoring their warranty. Demanding that they give you the money instead is ridiculous.

Decided to go with the motor replacement offer as,apparently, dealer had already ordered one.


thanks everyone!

she is back with new motor and I think I am in love with it again....I did notice a squealing/screeching noise at idle. should I be concerned?

thanks

Did they take all the accessories of the old motor? (Usually they do.) If so, did they use your old tensioner pulleys? It sound like you have a pulley going south.

I dont see tensioner pulley listed in the parts they showed they replaced in the invoice...just sent an email to SA.

My audio from aftermarket avic z110 is also gone. not sure if this is just a coincidence or they blew some fuses...

they didnt change the tensioner pulleys. I am sure they must have been in good working condition otherwise dealer would have tried to push me towards replacing them just like they tried to sell me me bushings/axle repair for $2.5k

Get an automotive stethoscope and touch the pulley with the engine running. Be very carefull not to get tangled in the moving belt. But a squeaky pulley can be very obvious when the sound is magnified with the stethoscope.
