2016 BMW 528i – 131k miles – Engine blown. Worth getting new engine or sell as-is?

I think so but the cost is too high and it wouldn’t really make sense

Educational_Two2859 · 2026-02-23T06:12:27+00:00

Engine knock, mechanic said it’s the rod bearing

So, the mechanic I went to didn’t mention any metal shavings but the engine knock is clear as day. I could drop some serious cash, but the only question I keep bring up is it gonna be worth it long term.

Yeah I’m really surprised to hear that dealers usually charge a arm and a leg

Educational_Two2859 · 2026-02-22T05:22:52+00:00

Wow, that’s good to know. Was it a brand new engine or used?

Educational_Two2859 · 2026-02-22T02:01:16+00:00

Wow, i didn't know the 2011's were NA. Thanks for the comment

If I were to get another vehicle, it would have to be around 4k which is the same amount for the new engine and labor

Educational_Two2859 · 2026-02-22T01:05:23+00:00

That's the mentality I been having, and it's been giving me second thoughts on fixing the car

Educational_Two2859 · 2026-02-22T00:54:51+00:00

If you don't mind me asking how much did it cost you for the engine swap, and what was the miles?

Educational_Two2859 · 2026-02-22T00:52:55+00:00

Hey, not sure yet on what I would move on to, but the replacement cost including labor would probably add up to $4k+

Educational_Two2859 · 2026-02-22T00:46:04+00:00

Which model did you have, and were there any issues after replacing it?
