Hi everyone,
So any advice would be much appreciated for my situation, that I'm not to sure what to do. I have a 08 335i that sadly has given me my final good by. Recently the car was making a ticking noise under throttle above 2k. I do what I can to my car myself, so any noise that I hear that is not normal I notice instantly. After reading countless forms and listing to other videos it sounded like rod knock. Long story short I took my car in to my normal Indy shop and they confirmed what I though. So here's my situation. I own 9k on my car still. It's going to cost me so much to break down the engine and have it machined. I have no idea if I will need a new cam or any other parts that might need to be changed as well, or even a new oil pump who knows. It would probably be cheaper to just buy a used engine at this point. I figure for a engine is about 2k and some change, install would probably be a couple of grand as well. With all that work it would not be worth it for me to keep the car, nor do I have the funds for it. I dont know what to do with it. Do I just sell it for what its worth and take what I can get? The car has 70k miles on it and is an AT. What do you guys think I should do. If the car was a manual maybe I would keep it and rebuild. All I know is that this sucks, but this car has been a nightmare for me, new power steering pump, new water pump, new index 12 injectors, sensors after sensors replaced, value cover, oil pan, coolant and oil gaskets. Any advice would be nice thanks in advance.
