My situation is identical to ADM. The EGR failed, allowing hot exhaust gas to flow freely to the engine essentially cooking it. The repair tech at BMW said it happens enough that BMW issued a TSB (technical service bulletin) to all the dealerships so they know how to troubleshoot and assess damage. Based on that TSB, the tech recommended I replace the EGR valve, EGR cooler, throttle body, particulate filter, etc, etc. The entire list of parts totaled $6500. After labor and tax, the bill was $10k. Neither my extended warranty nor BMW covered the repairs so it was entirely out-of-pocket to me. They originally thought the engine was damaged and needed replacement but fortunately it survived. Regardless, seems like an excessive amount of damage for an emissions component. Based on the recall in europe and korea, and the TSB issued in the U.S., do you think this will eventually be covered by BMW in the states? I'm hoping they accept responsibility down the road and end up reimbursing me.
