Hi guys,
Been a bit quiet from me on here lately as I've been enjoying trouble free miles until now. Suddenly got a knock while driving the other day with no funny noises before hand. Recovered the car to CPC, who are saying it is rod bearings after seeing sparkly oil in the filter housing. They reckon £5-8k to fix.
For note - the car has always been serviced by the book (by BMW), and treated gently in my ownership - for the last 60k (under 2500rpm until 75 degrees, never tracked). Car is currently on 91k - had its inspection 2 two weeks ago.
Not sure what to do next to be honest - pretty gutted.
Sell as is?
Part out?
Get it fixed?
