3 days after receiving an oil change and brake pad change, while driving on a city street at approximately 25mph my car spontaneously switched into neutral and i could no longer accelerate. my dashboard stated that i had a drivetrain malfunction and that maximum output was not available. i proceeded to take my car into bmw in order to get a diagnosis. when i received the diagnosis i was told that my engine was non operable and i would have to pay ten thousand to change engine. the technician stated it was because of an internal engine failure, and that the reason for the failure was unknown but it was more than likely a bad oil filter. my vehicle has had two recalls concerning oil and i am concerned that it is a manufacturing defect. thank you
Can't get the car into neutral. tow truck driver was not able to get car into neutral as well. could not get access on side of road to get car into neutral . the procedure in the manual did not work. this should be illegal, there should be a manual release from within the inside of the car
