italiabrain you are correct. Contract between insurer and me, not lease. However they also have an obligation to repair vehicles according to manufacture guidelines. BMW guidelines don’t allow for a used engine. At this point, if bmw would agree to allow the used engine, and I had to have some other shop do it, I would, rather then have to shell out quite a bit.
State Farm says used engine is less hours then new because everything already attached. BMW says other way around, they still have to emote all gaskets and bolts and replace with new. Despite that they wouldn’t use the used engine. Did I mention that the engine they want to use is from a car that was in a frontal collision! lol. It wasn’t a horrific front end but enough to total that car.
Will hopefully have a solution tomorrow or Tuesday. Been 5 weeks already and nothing.
