Hello

Can someone please recommend a company that can potentially rebuild an M5 engine that has been run with low oil?
The car is in West London, but can be transported anywhere in the country.

Also, if anyone else has had the misfortune of a similar situation, please feel free to share your experience/tips (if any) on getting the problem rectified.

Thanks in advance

It's a friends car - no warning lights, just straight to clunking!

Dash is indicating that the next service is due in around 2000 miles, but his local BMW garage are saying he missed the oil service, so his warranty is void. They've told him that the pistons have gone and have quoted him in the region of £35,000 for a new engine.

Yeah have advised my mate. First port of call is the BMW dealership to discuss the whole void warranty issue.

Fingers crossed everything goes his way.

Thanks for all the replies so far.
