Matt865 Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Merely a little note... The love of my life has departed from me. 💔 The crankshaft bearings of my F10 535d have failed, resulting in significant engine damage at 109,000 miles. It has been annually serviced, meticulously maintained, and is in generally satisfactory condition for its age. Up until this climactic conclusion, it operated seamlessly. Has anyone else encountered or heard of this? What do you estimate its value to be for sale as spare parts or for repair purposes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt865 Posted May 12 Author Share Posted May 12 I’ve been quoted a min £4k to have engine fixed. The cost of a new engine is from $4,000 to $5,000, while the car's estimated value is approximately $6,000 to $7,000. I am located in Northumberland.

IrvesBMW Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 It’s getting more and more prevalent, I have done a number of these already, also happens to the 2.0d engines. You can get lucky sometimes and a rebuild will sort it but more frequently than not the spinning mains harm block thus it’s garbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithmerc220 Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 rather prevalent on the N engines. after a 100k every mile is a gift, personally i avoid them and would never buy a used example out of warranty. The quotation appears accurate; but, after the engine is removed, there is a possibility that other difficulties could be discovered and more components will be required. Similar to how lighter crankshafts may deform, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrellll Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Indeed, I have been asserting this for several years; the police have also eliminated them. Although not ubiquitous, it is nevertheless excessively frequent for me to procure another.As Johnny mentioned last week, it appears that the oil pump fails due to one or two factors, subsequently leading to the deterioration of the crank bearings.

SkippyTom Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Does this also occur in petrol engines? I am considering a 520 SE Touring with 37,000 miles, or should I purchase an E-Class? 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
