1995 7-Series Block Replacement??

[patalive]

We have a 95 740il, with only 52k miles - in superb condition. I know the factory has an engine block replacement program for troubled engines with less than 100k miles, but I thought there was also a time limitation as well, like six years. In other words, am I out of luck if the block needs replacement??

Does anyone have information on this? I did not see anything when doing a search.

Thanks much.

I had mine replaced on my 93 740iL. Symptom is a rough idle. Here's an article related to your question. On the right hand side, click on Nikosil vs Alusil under the "most requested page" section.
