Seized Up Engine. Need Some Help🙏🏾
My 2012 528i died on me in the middle of traffic, towed it to BMW to get a diagnosis, just got an email, and apparently my engine seized and that I need to replace it. They're quoting 15k for the engine and 1.8k to replace the exhaust turbocharger, which I cannot afford. Could anyone please give me some advice or at least a cheaper alternative, would really appreciate 🙏🏾

You could spend $2k to open the engine up and figure out what went wrong. Could be something easy for a couple grand or could be toast. You won't know until you do it. I bet you can get a new engine at a much more reasonable cost as well if you do that, but it will probably cost $3k to install. Terrible deal all the way around. Below is an m5 post but you can gleen some info from it. https://f10.m5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1608382 |

Ditto the 2nd opinion. I know it sucks because you have to pay to tow it around and it just feels like more lost money. You can always look for a used engine. Would be a lot cheaper than new. Or, you can sell it as is - you'd be surprised how much you could get in this crazy used car market.
Good luck.
