Believe that'd be me, mis-shifted after a 3rd gear redline meant to go into 4th but hit 2nd. I'm still undergoing the process of this with my insurance since warranty is out of the question the moment they see an over rev. I over rev'd to 9500 rpm though. The OP over rev'd only to 7700? To cause this much damage? That's insane. Take it up with your insurance asap as long as you have full coverage they should either full rebuild your engine or get you a brand new engine. Good luck.

An over-rev of only 150rpm is NOT going to cause this type of damage on a properly working high performance engine like the S55.
Something is amiss. OP, are you sure of the RPMs BMW is saying you over-revved to? |

This is ridiculous, over of 150rpms is nothing. People bounce off the rev limiter all the time. Regardless, you should build the case with evidence and then call / submit a complaint to that dealership's GM, and if you get nothing, go to BMW NA to escalate.
Why did you admit and document here you were on the track? not the best thing to say. People in Germany for example hit 150 mph or redline on the street, so what you drove fast on public roads very early one morning...that should have been the story, NOT, I was racing on the track revving the hell out of it. |

His answer should be honest - not made up to garner sympathy and money.

I've never heard that rev match would drop your RPMs to zero if you're in too low of a gear. In fact, I know that is impossible as that would mean your engine would be turned off for the RPMs to be at zero. It could only go as low as idle (like 700 RPM). |

I guess I just haven't encountered the same scenario as you. I thought I remember it doing nothing, but I don't throw it into 2nd by accident anyway which is why I don't understand this problem.

OP...I do recall reading your previous thread about the road debris and the subsequent injury to your vehicle. I am not a mechanic, but can we consider the possibility that your engine and tranny were not "made whole" after the repair? The s55 engine has shown by many accounts to be a resilient engine with regards to track usage. Let's assume only 10% of folks with F8xs use the forum regularly, we should still hear/read about more engine failures with this activity.
I would recommend reviewing your previous repair work and see if any connection can be made with your current predicament.

Sounds like a money shift. Slowing for a corner after accelerating hard, it could happen. But I'm not here to judge. What mods do you have that would void warranty?

My 2.4 cents, after reading your stated facts, where you where, what you were doing, the computer log, temperatures, speeds, etc etc couldn't imagine BMW under those circumstances covering a motor warranty, my god you were on a track, and under those circumstances they'll call you out on the fine print "under normal driving conditions" you'll loose. And as far as an Attorney, waste of money and time, and as far as insurance, the motor failure would have to lead to some sort of catastrophic failure that the motor caused, and it caused nothing. Even the fact that you had a mechanic outside of BMW perform a diagnostic and services, also throws out an additional dynamic out of your favor. Sorry but that's just how I see it.

How long was your engine running without oil pressure after the first accident? Please correct me if I'm wrong, but the only repair made to the engine was a new oil pan. It sounds like the catastrophic failure of your engine is a result of previous damage the engine suffered due to lack of lubrication. It doesn't take much of a problem with lubrication to start wiping bearings. I would contact your insurance company and let them know that the engine that they repaired previously has let go. Obviously it wasn't completely repaired the first time, and I would expect the insurance company to make your car whole again. Good luck, and hopefully you'll be back on track soon. |
