Update. Picked up the car last Friday. I had a chat with the service manager. He showed me some pictures of the main bearings and he seemed as at a loss to explain why the engine let go and never gave an error or warning light of any sort.
The thing he did mention was that the car had been walnut blasted to clean CBU less than 500 miles ago. Hmm.
Anyone hear of engine failures after walnut blasting?
Car drives well. I am still waiting to see if BMW or the dealership makes any concessions to me regarding extending either warranty or offering help with a camera retrofit.
Vista has indicated they will but I have to wait and see what is done.
