Get a used engine, sell the car, recover what you can. Or drive it for another couple of years after the used engine goes in. Hopefully BMWNA splits the cost with you or covers a new engine, keep fighting with them until they make a final decision. Another option would be to find a shop that is reasonably priced and have them rebuild the heads, if your block and pistons/crank are all fine then rebuilding the top end should be half of the used engine or less and it could just be one head and then it should be even less. |
How tough is it to find a shop that can do that? Rebuilding for 5k is a lot more inviting than the alrernatives
