The infamous bmw n47 crankshaft issue finally caught up with me at 130k miles. I was worried I’d have to scrap the car, but Reliance Automotive offered a rebuild option that made way more financial sense than replacing the engine. They took care of everything — crankshaft, bearings, seals, and even preventive timing chain work. Communication was great, and there were no surprise costs. If you’re in the same boat, don’t panic — Reliance Automotive has real experience with N47 engines and saved me thousands.
