The only thing to do was replace the car, so they ordered an new one from the factory with the same spec and it came in October.

We picked up our new "replacement" MCS in early November and it immediately started leaving drops of oil on my garage floor. We took the car back to the dealer and left it with them for a few days while the waited for a new oil pan gasket. When we picked up the car and brought it home it again leaked on my garage floor! Same as before!!

We took it back last week again. They have had it for a full week trying to figure out the problem. They just called and said the engine block is cracked and they need to replace the engine! THE %#$&! CAR ONLY HAS 350 MILES ON IT

I am now disillusioned with the car and may ask them for my money back and go buy something else....

We do like the car but, I'm definetely shaky on this and want to hear from others.

Sorry for the long post..

Stick with it Dennis, I'm sure as a dissatisfied customer you could bargain more extras out of them.
The problem I feel the old car and it's problems are still stuck in your head, if BMW can fix the Oil leak then let them do it.
Providing they furnish you with a replacement car during the delay of fixing.

You'll love the car once you get out motoring again
