In Reply to: IMPORTANT SURVEY: DID ANYONE GET A LOANER posted by CAR WITH BMW V8 SWAP YES OR NO. on June 04, 2000 at 03:49:37:

We will need this survey info soon since this is the last year coming up for most of us to get engine swap. With this survey documented it will serve each of us as a bolster as /if dealer bucks at given a loaner during swap.
Please continue to respond.


: 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.
