Prior to the replacement, I went through a phase where my thumb/mind is always on the 'alladin' symbol becoz I kept checking the bar like a million time on the way to work and thinking - c' on...BMW could not screw-up this bad. Now we know even the Germans can get at the wrong end of the Murphy's Law. Still waiting for letter from AB for me to file a fresh paperwork to JPJ.  Scwepps, my old engine is now back in Munich, dont think I will be privy what's the outcome of their post-mortem. My feeling is;it was oil blow-by meaning piston rings did not 100% sealed. What I saw - 3/6 pots were esp bad. And the heads were clogged with oil crust. I was initially concernerd if other systems of the car do not gel well with the new power plant i.e lungs, kidneys cannot work with the new heart but so far so good every other system has no issues so far. Cheers</blockquote>
