It's unlikely that a replacement engine on just 3k miles would have an internal failure.It's more likely an oil pipe union cracked or came out. The oil rad may have received a hit or split with the resulting oil loss.The rod bearings only have to lose oil pressure for a few seconds and they are ruined.
Shame as the car itself looks immaculate. |

Don't new replacement motors, especially from the manufacturers, usually come with something like a 12 month, 12,000 mile warranty?

You mentioned that there were lean codes from the time you got the car back, that is telling. Make sure you document those codes and preferably, you turn off the CEL but don't delete the codes. It would be great if you had pics of the codes. Insurance is likely going to pick this up under the warranty, and not necessarily come out of the dealers pocket unless BMW NA sends someone down and they see something silly-stupid the dealer might have done. It probably will take a week or two, but I'm wagering you'll get another new motor from what I understand here. Keep us posted.

I'm not sure your situation with your dealer, but I'd be over there at night swapping the stock parts back on the car! Downpipes are a super easy way to deny another engine and in this case the leans codes would help their case, not yours.
If I was a claim worker, here's what I see: Car had engine replaced, engine blows within 3k miles. Hmm, that is definitely odd. Oh, the car has aftermarket down pipes and a tune with lean codes present? Well shit, that tune caused that piston to blow. DENIED. Just playing devils advocate here. You might have been lucky to get the first engine but I'd bet a lot of money the lean codes caused that piston to burn down. Certainly possible the cause was related to the previous engine replacement, no doubt there, but who's going to spend the time to figure that out when the aftermarket parts are an easy scapegoat? The dealer isn't going to want to help diagnose what would be their own fuck up because then they will be paying for the new engine, not BMW. Good luck and keep us posted! Sorry to hear you have to go through it! |

I went into detail about this months ago look up my threads.. i'm getting proven more right every day I have Meisterschaft downpipes.. no tune.. catless is healthier for turbos he was running bootmod3 AND stage2 catless.. im curious if he ran bm3 from day 1 of new motor or at least gave it a good stock 1200 mile break in.. regardless.. he pushed the limit of this engine's internals with a stage 2 tune.. and a bad stage 2 tune to put the cherry on top (probably) (its a big variable) Last edited by BeachM5nster; 08-09-2019 at 03:43 PM.. |
