I only drove it to work back and forth and took it to San Francisco once. Which is like an hour drive both ways. Any how long story short, two weeks ago, i got into the car and drove it to work, heard a small clunk right when i almost got to work. i thought that it was my exhaust made the noise or something. when i was leaving work the sound was more obvious and luckily my commute is very small and by the time i got home the engine was making the noise and it was not good. It seemed to be a sound of rod bearing. I immediately made an appointment at the dealership and got it towed there and heard the bad news from my SA that engine needs to be replaced as the foreman/tech found a metal piece in oil. I gave them Fidelity information and Fidelity asked them to get my authorization to get the oil pan dropped to see what the issue is exactly. I gave them the auth and they will probably call me in a day or two to let me know. I will keep you guys posted here, i am sure you all would be interested.

Finally I heard back and FWS will cover the maximum contract value up 30,575 and I do have to pay BMW 8K out of pocket to cover some remaining cost. Still was surprised to hear that FWS will cover this much but it is what it is. BMW will put in the reman motor and the new warranty will cover 2 years unlimited mileage. BMW will only provide the warranty on the motor and rest I may have to buy a new coverage. I will have the car back end of this month.
