My father's meticulously maintained 525i threw a rod according to BMW. To repair with BMW cost will be approx. $13,000 as the car is no longer under warranty.
The car runs, but makes a bad noise at idle. Are there alternatives to the BMW repair that could be considered?
What exactly should be replaced when an engine throws a rod? Maybe I could find some less expensive replacement parts if I knew what to look for.
