I purchased the 2015 528i x-drive with 110k miles on it on 1/9/24. On 3/1/24 it broke down on the side of the road, just 7 weeks after purchase and had been driven a total of 978 miles since purchase. It had to be towed, and was taken to a BMW dealership. I was told that the engine bearing had failed and that the car would need a total and complete engine and turbo replacement if it was ever to be driven again. The car is totally inoperable.

Engine light on while in motion. Giving code fc 193208 stored in dme, just purchased the vehicle 8months ago, under warranty and this the second time it has happened. I believe the first trip was just a temporary repair to just reset the engine light. Now the engine light has been reset again and was told unable to repair.
