The problem is, it doesn't matter how you normally drive. You could be going a sedate 40mph in first gear and be overrevving the engine and BMW isn't going to cover a whole new engine for your mistake. The fact is, if you were negligent and over revved your engine, you are responsible for fixing it, not BMWNA.
NOW if YOU ABSOLUTELY DID NOT over rev the engine, then you need to have them verify this |

Like a few above have said, tell the dealership to provide absolute proof and say I will lawyer up if you don't. 40k is no joke for an engine. If they provide the proof and shows you that you over-revved then you are screwed. If they can't and they won't fix your car then get your lawyer. Don't do it the other way. Sue first, if BMW provides proof in court that you over-revved then not only do you have to PAY for the engine, you now have to pay for your lawyer. Be smart about what you are doing. Just because you drive normally for you, doesn't mean it is healthy for your car.

Anyhow - if you really did not over rev, then absolutely ask for proof and if they will not work with you try different dealers that might be more sympathetic. Or do as someone else suggested and try to find an independent shop or someone that can help read the car to get to the evidence. Where in CA are you?

You are new here, you just registered to post that your engine blew off and people are trying to help you. These machines are all computerized and there is a log recorded every time you drive the car or when an event is recorded like over rev. If dealer is denying your claim based on that info, you are screwed. If they think you are some sort of a punk (using this just as an example and not saying that you are) ask for a proof which is the ECU report. We can all beat around the bush in here while all the info is already registered in the car's computers. End of story. |

You need to have them provide proof that the engine was over-rev'd by you...if the break-in service was done, they should have a record of the in/out time/mileage. You need to find as much ammo as you can to support your position. you might also contact your insurance as a backup plan. I'd engage a lawyer as a last resort - nuclear option - because it's going to get messy. good luck!

Lawyer as a last resort only.
Your car will record everything you do and any BMW dealership will be able to pull up the errors that your car is giving. Most cars now a days are just giant computers. Or like an modern airplane it is recorded like black box. Whatever you do will be there. If you did or didn't over-rev it will be there and recorded. If your dealership can provide that proof, then you go from there. If they are refusing to give that proof, threaten them with the lawyer option and see what they do. If they still don't, then go with the lawyer.

Your story does not make sense. Your first post says "two weeks later after purchasing" and your later post says purchase Aug 29 and happened October 20. You say you drive 200 miles round trip each day so neither makes sense once again. 200 miles per day is 1000 per week so two weeks is 2000 miles. One of those days you claim your car was in for the 1200 mile service so you should have had a loaner and not put 200 miles on your car. If the two month story is correct than you should have had 8000 miles on your car. I don't believe the story at all.

Your first post still says you bought the car in august and two weeks later the engine blew - but now you are saying it blew in October. Basic facts have been mis-stated/not lined up in a few of your posts already. Further, the car shouldn't over-rev? YOU control the revs, not the car, in a 6mt. You can force it to over-rev. And over-revving has nothing to do with how you drive "normally". It can happen within a quarter second of picking the wrong gear. If your communication with BMW on this matter has been as poor as your communication on here thus far, that is why your treatment has been sub par. I wish you all the best and hope there are simply some mis-understandings here.

I agree with the Porsche DME report. Computer readout will tell exactly the rpms and engine status like that of a flight "black box" recorder as a causation for engine failure.
Only they might tell you what they want to, regarding the results, unless it was over revved. Check the maintenance records if owned previously and you might have an attorney send a letter requesting such report from dealership. Just some ideas.. |

Regardless if he is telling us the whole truth or not. We aren't the one that has to pay 40k for the engine if the dealership is telling the truth. Especially a MT.

I mean, they obviously continuously held back that it was 6MT for so long we could all tell that it was 6MT.
Sounds like a money shift occurred, because race car. |

Based on the amount of shadiness in these posts, I suggest you spend that lawyer retainer on getting a new motor in your car instead. An Indy will do it for much less and you can try to find a used motor. Also learn how to avoid "the money shift" in the future.

Odd that you never post what dealership, your facts have changed multiple times, just not believable based on all your posts........
buying a brand new car for 70k+ and having it towed in to BMW with no loaner offered to you, no way, I don't buy it. How would they have known what happened, how would they know it was "your fault" upon arrival from the tow and justify no loaner car. |

I swear, it seems like 90%+ of these kind of posts seem go exactly where this is headed. Funny that people still post these BS stories.
Sounds like a money shift; if BMW is taking such a hard line, I bet they have solid proof. Take the $5k and run. If, on the 1% chance BMW is completely at fault and you're not, then it's time to get a lawyer. Just my $0.02. |

Lemon Law. If you didn't over rev then you don't care what shows on future reports as car will be owned by BMW, not you. However as most have stated, your timeline and facts make no sense.
