HELP engine EXPLODED
Since BMW is gonna charge me $25k to get another engine, I've been considering an engine swap. Has anyone swapped out an n20/n26 motor yet? So far the motors I've been considering are the n54, v8 m3 motor, or an ls1. Would definitely appreciate some recommendations on which of the motors to use and any shops that may be willing to perform an motor swap.

I understand that you have JB4 installed. Is it the cause of your engine failure? If so, that's alarming because many on this forum have it installed on their cars, including me.
Please keep us updated. |

About 15K $ Listprice. Plus Labor. So you won't be far from 25K for the whole replacement.

Did BMW bust you for having a JB tune? Please let us know... I just ordered one.... If they busted you, I'd like to know what they did to find out. Your profile shows a 2014 328xi so I mean unless you were busted for doing something above and beyond what the warranty covers, something is wrong with this picture...

This is obviously a joke.... there is no chance an engine can "Blow up" especially in a 328i with just a stage 1 tune installed no matter how hard you push it... I just got my stage 1 installed this past week on my 14' 328i M sport... Here is a link to my post and review on BimmerPost. Enjoy yours, I'd like to hear back how you like it once you get it installed!

I was driving home and then got a drive train malfunction warning on the car so I started to pull over to the side of the road. As I was pulling over there was a loud bang. Next thing I know it feels like I was dragging something SUPER heavy. Once I made it to the side of the road the car then completely shut off and died. I did have a jb4 on the car and before I took it to the dealer I had gotten it taken off. The only thing BMW told me was that the software was tampered with so they weren't going to cover the cost of the engine. Tried to get more info from BMW but they wouldn't tell me anything else.
