N63 CCP Recall Prompted Total Engine Replacement

Well I bought a beautiful 2012 650i Convertible CPO with 42k miles check out my video at
.

Well I took it for an oil change 2 weeks ago Monday April 18th, Wednesday they called and said they found some issues and awaiting a response from BMW NA. Friday the 22nd I got a call that my engine was blown and I would be getting a brand new $23k N63 engine (ACTUALLY PRICE). That took another week and picked the car up Friday April 29th.

N63 Post Repair Issues:

Within 50 miles in had a TPM Malfunction

Then at 150 miles I had a Drivetrain Malfunction and had to drive moderately. This reset and then pinged again when hitting the gas hard from a rolling start. Took back into dealership and they have now found a bad coil that needs to be replaced.

TOTAL Repair Bill so far has been NEARLY $32,000 of which BMW NA covered 100% of.
BMW sold a lot of 550s. How often you hear such problems? A few cases? I still think it's an awesome monster engine.
