If only to vent a little...
My 2010 750 developed a loud knocking sound about 90 mins from home on Tue night. Shut it down right away and got it towed to the local dealer, since my regular non-dealer BMW mechanic was 2 hrs away. Just got a call saying "it needs a new motor, it's coming apart inside, $39,000". That's at 89k miles with regular careful maintenance and no prior problems in the 18 months I've had it. Waiting to see what my third party warranty will cover, if anything - Mr. BMW Dealer cheerfully added 'probably nothing as we don't see a full proper service history in the car's early history'.
I guess I'll be researching a lot more about this happy-branded recall and general F01 engine problems. Wondering if by not calling this a recall, they've opened themselves to any legal action related to critical engine problems.
Clutching straws, etc.
