Or so people think. Just another example of what can happen at such low mileage. Glad you got sorted though. |

So...I bought a used M5 2 years ago - 2014 F10 - was still under dealer warranty and maintenance which ran out last year. All service records show all work was done at BMW dealerships and I only took it to my local dealer as well. Recently went in for maintenance - they changed engine oil, diff oil, and some other stuff.
200 miles later, I hear a horrible noise from the engine - thought it was a water pump. Had it towed to the dealer - got the call - bearing material in oil and filter. Will need a new engine as there are chunks of metal that are all over the place. Dealer is trying to get BMW to pay for a new engine but what are my options if they don't? I'm not that aggressive a driver - rarely go into manual mode but do like to drive in sport plus engine settings as the car is just more responsive. Not sure how this could have happened - I know I briefly touched red line recently when I forgot I was in manual mode after a stoplight but that was after driving over 100 miles that day - so engine oil would hav been warm (had a 90 minute break in driving). Wondering if the dealer put the wrong oil in? I'm def not going to buy a new engine from dealer - but is it worth to buy an engine from a salvaged car? or just sell this as is and someone can part it out? car was worth about 32K before all this - now wondering how much it is worth with a bad engine and how much to get a used one and drop it in? does it even make sense? thanks. |

Bought my car from a dealer and literally 30 miles later a rod knock and about 3 days later the rod blew through the block. Had my car get a rebuilt motor which was a nightmare and very expensive due to many reasons. Many members know my story...My honest advice, do not rebuild it or get a rebuilt engine if your looking at it from a financial perspective. I also would advise to not get a used engine as it clearly is just resetting the clock because its still just factory parts. My issue on the rebuilds is that you really have no way of seeing if its actually remanufactured or just a used engine. Ive dumped so much money into my car from exterior mods to a whole new engine and baby the hell out of mine. Oil changes every 4-5k, new spark plugs, new fuel pumps, air filters etc..Tons of new parts overall... Car is honestly in immaculate condition and one of the cleanest 2013 cars most have seen. However my point is that you will be spending anywhere from 10k-16k on a rebuilt engine including shipping, install etc. Just not worth it unless you keep it a long time. If you sell as is you could probably get 20k for it. |

Interesting thread. I come from the E60, E90 background and this was an issue on those cars, also the early E46 M3's. On the E60, it seemed the issue was the extremely tight oil passages in the V10 Block and a lot of owners not allowing the engine to fully warm up before hammering that love V10 beast. Average span was 80K on those engines - then all sorts of failures.
It's sad to see / hear it seems to be the same for the F10. Sadly, it seems post E Series like the E39, this is becoming a norm on ///M Engines. |
