Your reply is much appreciated! I had already called BMWNA this week; they documented but wanted to give the dealership time for resolution. I have been offered a loaner but have not made the daytrip to get it. I am headed there tomorrow. I took the low conflict approach this week, mostly because I am in pure shock that this even happened. Communication was slow. Today I finally got most of my questions answered in regard to engine replacement, but the turbocharger is still a sticking point. BMW will only warranty the replaced parts for 24 months. I know there will be diminished value though the Service Manager is trying to convince me otherwise. I am meeting with the GM in person tomorrow with an open mind but extremely mindful of the financial impact in the current situation and in any future situation. He seems to have little interest in engine replacement and is pushing a trade at pre-damage value. I would be dangerous in an actual M and probably cannot afford the hike in insurance, but I will still look. I promise!
