Consumer Description

I purchased the 2015 528i x-drive with 110k miles on it on 1/9/24. On 3/1/24 it broke down on the side of the road, just 7 weeks after purchase and had been driven a total of 978 miles since purchase. It had to be towed, and was taken to a BMW dealership. I was told that the engine bearing had failed and that the car would need a total and complete engine and turbo replacement if it was ever to be driven again. The car is totally inoperable.
