Had my car in the shop for a check engine code. They told me that the intake was carboned up and they would do a walnut blasting to clean up the system. They did the blasting and were getting ready to do a road test. The mechanic said that the car would not start after a few attempts. They finally got it to turn over but it immediately back fired and they heard a loud KLUNK. The piston in cylinder 6 exploded. When they looked into the intake, they saw a rod which is not supposed to be there. I am now waiting for a long block replacement. If the engine is here in the states, it will be a week or two, if the engine has to come from Germany then it might be 4 weeks or more.
The only good part is that the engine will be new along with the ancillary parts.
What a bummer! At least I'll be driving a 5 series until mine gets finished.
