Diagnosis is as follows, both high and low pressure turbos failed, this caused an excess of oil in the piston chamber and this resulted in a hydraulic lock and and a bent connecting rod.
BMW dealers do not do repairs, they replace components, so have quoted to replace the entire engine. This would cost more than my car is worth. They do have a goodwill policy and sometimes offer assistance, this time they will not.
I will be taking my BMW to be repaired and will be selling it. I love my vehicle, but will no longer risk driving a BMW based on what I have just experienced.
My advice to all. When your motor plan ends, replace your vehicle, or extend your motor plan, or get additional insurance.
It's an unfortunate situation, and a rare one. I was hoping BMW would assist. Some tough lessons have been learned.
