: You need to check further. I am told that some of the first engine replacements that BMW did were with the same type engine that was taken out. Therefore, some of the replacement engines could also have the problem. Make sure that the engine that was put into the car was manufactured from the different alloy.

That is exactly what had happened! The test drive just confirmed I must own an 8 but I have walked away from this one. The search continues...........
