what engine with these fillings?
Engine ''swaps'' should never be done with the dealer.
There's a ton of specialized garage that can change the engine in a day.
Find a insurance srap yard, where they get all recent and expensive totaled cars.
i.e., B7 audi S4 had major issue with timming chain on their V8 (just like 1st gen N20).
I found a engine in great shape : 3000$
Redone tensionner since its out : 1500$
10 hours labor @67$/h.
a good reliable S4 back on the road for a ''decent price''.
N20 and N55 engines are everywhere in bmw cars, shouldnt be that hard to find. 5000-8000$ and you'll be back on the road.
Or redone the rods beraing, just like v10 M5, shouldn't be thatttt expensive. at least less than 25k$ ( if its the bearing. it could be the chain/tensionner)
