: How many miles did people have when they received an engine swap andd a loaner car? Should the number of miles matter sine technically the car is under warranty?

:
: estimated labor cost for installing these parts is for 14hrs at $70 per hour. I was not prepared for nor expecting this at all (A)Should I get these done now?
: And(B)are the part's prices to high (C) What should i get done? I feel that had I not needed to risk paying BMW $150 (if engine had passed test) to inspect my engine for there engineering mistake I would not have even been considering getting all this work done in the first place.
: (if so where can I get parts from delivered by early next week)?
: A/C belt=$38
: Alt belt=$19
: InspectII=$500 with 5hr labor,
: oil return line=$66 with 0.50 hr labor
: powersteering line=$80, with 0.50 hr labor
: transmission output seal + shaft seal=$30 with 0.50 hr labor, clutch=$500 labor not documented,
: Guibo(what's a guibo?)=$76 with 0.50 hr labor,
: AC fan clutch=$150 with .050 hr labor,
: O2 oxygen sensors x 2=$300 with 2 hr labor,
: L&R motor mounts=$203 with .050 hr labor,
: water pump=$132 + thermostat $16 with 0.50 hr labor,
: L catalytic convertor $1451 with2 hr labor...

: quote was actually $6,147 not 1900 I was looking at the wrong price the service advisor said.Yes engine did fail and will be replaced so I thought the lower quote was suppose to be my share, boy was I wrong, and i did not get a loaner still. Car is still at dealership.

You are getting a new block,like what i said they always try to get some out of you.No loaner.
