Snorkle!

I had thought the only differences are the cams and the DME tuning. I'll have to do some more research.

Upon further investigation, I discovered that the ZHP oil pump spindle nut is also a different part number, but can be simulated on a non-ZHP motor by adding Loctite to the existing nut. Any other differences out there?

It's unfortunate that BMWs seem to be so susceptible to sucking up water and hydro locking. Every time we get a big storm down here, My wife waits for the tow trucks to arrive at her BMW dealership. The advisors make a huge commission on them. There are usually at least three or more that come in.
They just totaled two of them due to water damage...one was a 2017 with 970 miles!

That's nuts.

Op, are you buying it back?

Can you explain how/why?

Their pay is commission based. They get a percentage of all they sell: service, parts, tires , warranties ... Just think how much it costs to swap out a hydro -locked motor in a newer BMW...

To be fair, it seems like some of the streets in downtown Charleston get 2-3 feet of standing water every time the sky gets cloudy.

That's true but it was the same thing when she worked at the BMW dealership in South Jersey

I am going to ask and see whats up with that at geico. Considering that I may have to pay a little more to buy it back and fix it, I have to think hard about it. And I had some minor work to be done on it too so...

If that means salvage/rebuilt title forget about it...
