| Message: | I have purchased a 2002 BMW M3 in november 2001. I drove it for 10,000 miles when while driving on the highway the engine gave a ticking or a ratteling sound. I stopped called the 800 number for bmw they indicated if the engine check light is not on it is ok. well 2 min later the engine blew up just like the movies. I have checked the oil level and it was ok. I was not driving the car hard. They are not covering it under warranty. I am really pissed off the car is at BMW New London in CT. They are not cooperating and I have contacted everybody in BMW NA and they are giving me a hard time. Have you ever seen that problem. They are claiming that I over reved the engine, I know I did not do that. I drove the car very easy most of the times. But as you know you have an M3 engine and you have to push it once in a while. Well I did push it once but it is not major. 1 hour after that driving on I-95 in CT a ticking sound started in the engine it kept on progressing for 10 min until the hole engine blew up and I as picking up bolts and parts filled with oil from the street. That engine should take a lot of abuse and not fail. I had a VW GTI-VR6 and I used to drive it very hard never gave me any problem for 90,000 miles until I sold it. The dealership sent the black box to BMW NA and they said I have over revved the engine to 8560 rpm, which I think is bull [censored]. did you face a similar problem please e-mail me back your input is very important thank you bass@pile.com (302)218-7119 | ||||
