You have to treat it as an accident. Stop wherever you are even if you have to block traffic.

Engine oil cooler is designed to be low to ground and flat against floor so that flat surfaces like driveways or the ground dont damage it. However any sharp items go through it like a hot knife through butter. Just a warning to everyone on this board.

$55k for a new engine plus labor blows my mind. That’s a tad on the side of gouging. VERY glad your insurance worked out.

Definitely a scary car to own after warranty...

I wouldn't mind too much if they take a long time replacing it, just use the Laferrari as your daily. Pretty sick ride!

And you have the Bentley SUV now too? So sorry to hear about your troubles, but man you need to post more pictures of your vehicle stable.

tcw495 · 10-31-2018, 10:22 PM

Your GT2RS doesn't have red seat belts does it? Was up in Beverly Hills area this past Saturday and was cruising next to a GT2RS same color as yours (in my F90).

Good to hear that the insurance will takes care the bill.
Can't wait for it to be back on the street shredding rubber.

Good news! Glad this worked out for you.

Sold the GT2 RS last month but it did have the red belts. Might have been my old car

Actually my Bentley dealer let me drive that for a week to see if I wanted one. Not a fan compared to the full size Range Rover my wife drives.

Powerwise, the Urus will make the X5M step up it’s game or be left behind. Love my X5M, but 2020 better be faster.

I think the Bentley looks nice, but Range Rover's seem much more capable. I just can't believe the price tag on the Breitling option in the Bentley...

Ever34 · 11-01-2018, 06:31 PM

Plus the RR is much better looking. The Bentley looks awkward

Just saw this thread today, read every post with my jaw hanging open until I got to the part about insurance covering the motor. I was worried that OP was going to be forced to drive that yellow electric thing every day.

Just a data point....even though it’s comparing apples to beans....a complete Halo Car ZR1 Chevrolet 750hp engine replacement is $23,000ish. $55k is amazing.

Totaly!!! The engine replacement cost with labor on my f80 for the same issue was ~$30k. I can't believe this is almost twice as much!

So found this thread yesterday, after I hit some sort of severe bump in the road(was in a country road) and I heard a scraping noise. After a few minutes red low
Oil pressure light came on, and I managed to park in a
Safe place Within a minute or two . I was driving to Cornwall to stay at a nice cottage for the week, and this happened a few minutes before arriving to the cottage!!
From here on it has been an absolute head ache, as
Car was parked on driveway , and was not accessible to a tow truck. I’m still in shock this thing can’t be put in neutral without cracking the engine. Anyway I won’t bore you guys with the details, but we
Managed to get car down the driveway and onto a flat bed. It is now with BMW, but no idea of the damage done just yet..... engine might be fried! Who knows, I stopped the as soon as I could, and engine was not seized when I stopped. Will know more tomorrow. I’m so upset, I can’t believe the location and vulnerability of the oil cooler .

supershaft · 03-27-2020, 01:50 PM

I don't think that design is very good. a very high chance of actually puncturing the cooler if a thick enough stick, branch, or other debris would get caught by the design. Vertical slats like a grill would have been preferrable.

personally I wouldn't buy this.
