Will BMW cover engine failure under warranty????

It just amazes me some times how freakin stupid people are, and then have the BALLS to argue with you...

car has 29k Miles on it... No record of an oil service...ever, car was blasted in the nose somewhere in the 22k area...

Customer tows car in with "NO OIL PRESSURE" warning light on....

I wonder why !!!!! (car is a 528xi hence the axel thru the oil pan)

crank looks ok, piston rings compressed in lands, head is shot...

So, did BMW cover it? If it was covered, the next time I drove my car into the river for a swim and it won't start afterwards, I will claim the engine compartment was not water resistant enough and it should be covered under warranty!

Wouldn't the car notify you that the oil level was low well before it had starvation issues?

yes it would.. and it did...guy kept driving...although there was oil in the pan...it just could no longer circulate up to the head
