Last month I would have agreed with you and probably supported your position. This month I am driving my daughters 2003 Lexus with over 210,000 miles and no issues because my 2017 M240i totaled itself, with no warning at 51000 miles. My maintenance routine was very similar to yours; LL-01 Liqui Moly, OEM filters, coolant change with OEM coolant, all done prior to recommended intervals. However, it didn't stop my turbo from failing and destroying the motor presumably due to failed seals and foreign debris down the intake. This was most likely caused by idling the car for an extended period just prior. By the way, BMW of North America has declined to assist with any of the out of warranty repairs. Initial quote from the dealership is $31,000.

So they offered to build you a replacement car for that price?
