Yeah, it was a major bummer. It seems the spun bearings are a fairly common issue on the N55, I think there is a class action in the US, but nothing in Canada. And crazy that it really can't be fixed, every shop I talked to (Toronto based) all said replace, do not rebuild. They say once the metal shards get all around the motor, you will never get them all out and you will blow the new motor in time. Also, N55 motors are going for $5-7K, then install, etc. Looking at a 10-12K repair
Really sad, as the E93 is such a nice car and ours was in tip top shape.
