So, i have had the car for around 8 months and it has been plagued with issues, from new injectors, water pumps, reserviors, spark plugs and even a parking brake actuator. I have spent in the region of 30,000AED so far.
The car was running rough lately and after 2 independents had a look a the car, they advised to have it checked by BMW as all issued pointed towards a DME issue.
AGMC BMW have reported back that there is no compression on cylinder 2 and there are scratch/scores on the cylinder = cost of repair 197,000 AED. Yip, 197,000 AED.
So on a car that is just 6 1/2 years old, 80,000KM, it needs a new engine! Since the car is not worth that, it would be uneconomical to repair.
I can most likely buy a new engine for around $7,000 (after a quick internet search).
I am considering just selling it for spares, or trying to trade in against a new car.
I'd welcome any suggestions here.
