: 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.

: 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.
I had 50K miles on my 530iT, I got a loaner; paid $390 for a new water pump ,belts,hoses etc. and that was my total bill for the new short block swap-took one week with no problems. Get away from that dealer !!!
