Cost $1200 by BMW service center. so now car goes to insurance auction sells to this dealer who is now selling. as i understand fluids changed by auction house? car now has 33k and drives great. My question is would the car either run bad with engine lights on or just completely die?? am i wasting time to just forget or should i take to another BMW facility for compression test ?? if the car had a bent rod would the car still run great??? confused and need help with good advice from a person real knowable with these car.( preferable a BMW tech adviser?

That $1200 figure might be missing a digit.
