He understood and said he’ll keep me updated.
Car is currently under the knife. The affected bearing is bearing #2. He said this could result in a new engine which was kicked around here, but this is the first I’ve heard directly from anyone at BMW on the subject.
He said that’s worst case scenario but he did say it’s a possibility.
Once the bearing gets pulled, the TSE needs to inspect it and advise what the repair is. If it (or the new bearing goes in), there will be a series of road tests before they give the car back to me.
Best case scenario = reinstall bearing or replace bearing and get car back sometime next week.
Worst case scenario = replace engine and I’m driving a 5 series for the foreseeable future.
I’ll update when I know more.

Good for you by standing up to that SA…
This is why I’m holding till the end….I’m not even sure if I’m still affected by it.
