Your incident may not have been something related to the engine built by BMW as there have been so many different hands in that car before you purchased it.Originally Posted by tnomud

These cars had massive problems from 01-late 04 with rod bearings, this motor was just another statistic, They were recalled for it. Numbers on the block match the numbers on the paperwork from Chapman BMW in AZ. It had a new crate 2004 motor from BMW, to replace motor #2 which went on track. When I received the car, the motor had 200 miles on it. 100 of those miles were from Christian test driving it in Texas for me. I ran it to 1100 or so and it also pooped out. It was in my hands for 900 miles and was junk.
