Mechanic Destroyed My Car

[mLuMaN83]

That seriously sucks bro. I can't even imagine. I hope you get put back into form soon. I try to think that the universe will unfold as it should.

So sorry to read this. Best vibes man.

I am amazed that an engine can be ruined by doing a clutch job incorrectly. wow. Sorry to hear about the incompetence of someone you trusted with your car.

[slater]

bummer, all around.

path of least resistance - pay the car off and part it out. find new car. an engine and trans swap is probably not financially viable for your car, unless you want to keep it forever.

onward and upward! don't kill yourself with the stress.

Damn, sorry to hear OP.

For me, I usually scout private bmw shop reviews on the well known forums before giving it a go. Let this be a positive experience for you and don't let it ruin your dreams of owning an awesome bmw.

Thank you for all the support guys. It means a lot. I think I'm gonna park the car until January and buy a new engine for it with less miles. Once o put a new engine in it, it will essentially be a new car except for the frame. I think I'm going to go this route and get some more years out of it, and not have a car payment. I really don't want a payment.

Just caught up on your thread Will... sorry to hear about this! If anything, perhaps putting in an S54 could be an option??? Man would this make for an awesome ride

You have a good idea Will, enjoy no car payment for as long as you can, I am with you on that.

Did you call your Indy with a credit card? Have you, looked into that?

[SureShot434]

No I paid cash. I have to look for the invoice when I'm off work Thursday. Definitely have to look for the right engine. Saw one with 81k miles that has been refurbished for 1,900 shipping included from Atlanta Georgia.

Wow, I can't even image how much this must suck... Think you made a good call by not giving up on your car though! Car payments suck, and as many have already pointed out, this could be the beginning of an epic new adventure!
