Description of the problem	I am seeking assistance in the matter of having a defective engine in my 2006 750i bmw. We have had this vehicle since oct. 2008 and we have kept scheduled maintenance on it as prescribed. Recently after taken the car to the shop for light smoke coming out of the tail pipe it was discovered that our engine was possibly bad and needed to be replaced. That first we were told that bmw would most likely cover parts if we were to have the engine broke down to see exactly what the problem was. Which we agree to; before the engine was broke down and the cause was known we were told that regardless of what was wrong with the engine they were not going to help. We continued with the break down to discover that the engine is in fact bad and it is "very unusual" for the engine to be in the shape it was in. Mind you the engine only has 59000 miles on it and was under warranty up unto 50000 miles. The 2011 bmw they say will run up 300000 miles the average bmw engine will run over 200000 mile and my only went up to 59000 mile which was time of determining that the engine was bad. That isn't even a quarter of what bmw engines will do, so it is clear that the engine is one out of the few that come off the line with major defects. I would like bmw to take responsibly for their defected engine and pay to have it replaced. As of now my family and i are hadn't to come out of pocket for around $29,000. 00 for a new engine because bmw will not assist us in this matter. Attached are the reading and measurement that the mechanic took and declared the engine to be bad. Further more we had never had any problems with our car until after getting and oil change at bmw of nashville where the car is still currently in the shop.
