Has anyone had an engine go bad? I first heard a tapping noise. I thought it sounded like a valve. My local dealer has inspected the engine, spoke to BMW NA and Germany. They have agreed to replace the engine. They boroscoped the engine and found damage in the block. I have not gotten the full story yet but a bad bearing is the story so far. I only have 19,500 miles and about 20 months on the car. I commend BMW for standing behind their product. Has anyone had to replace an engine of this type before? Did you get a remanufatured engine? New engine? How is the warranty handled? Do you get a new warranty on the engine for 4yr/50,000 or just the remainer of the original coverage? I would appreicate you sharing your experiences.
