Not much of a story on this, 2009 550i with 9600miles on it, yeah that is right 9600 was bought at an auction by my dealer, another tech on my team was on the test drive for because it was going to be a certified pre-owned (CPO), will be tommorrow once the motor goes back in, stayed late since the new engine just came in and transfered everything over.

Never have i ever seen a piston split in half or a freaking wrist pin break like that. . . . The rod must have went out the hole on the side since the only trace of that was on the rod bearing on the crank. The head did not need to come off because we knew it was mangaled so didnt want to lose time and take it off even though i would have loved to see the nightmare in there.

i will take some more tommorrow forgot my memory card
