It was 156k miles, all highway, the dealer didn't follow the correct priming procedure after changing the oil filter housing gasket and it went dry, dealer stalled it 3 times got it back into the shop ran codes witch their was none took it back out and blew the motor.
Then tried to pin it on me and said the engine was high milage and at end of life, it didn't work and the insurance sided with me and claimed their negligence as it's a known issue with the higher milage n55 engines. The variable displacement oil pump has a difficult time getting primed again after a oil circuit brake and starves the upper end or crnk shaft for oil and boom!
Otherwise it drove like butter when I brought it to them and was quiet as a mouse no engine noise other than what's normal and no engine oil burn either.
