Yet another update... I spoke with my mechanic and finally pulled the trigger on getting the used engine and of course, BMW of USA calls me today while I was in a meeting at work. I emailed last week them telling them all about my problem and fairly blatantly asking for help/good will replacement. Their voicemail was extremely friendly and they said they want to help, they just need more info(VIN, miles, ect..). I'm going to give them a call first thing in the morning. I'd be completely shocked if they stepped up and were willing to help in my specific situation, but I figure it's worth the phone call.
