Diesel Engine Problems of BMW 525

Returning home from a trip to the grocery, car running fine, turned into my driveway, heard a noise , engine stopped running. Had the car pulled to my garage,, I am a diesel engine rebuilder so I do know engines. I looked the engine over with the hood up, didn't really notice anything. Got back in the car and tried to re start the engine, it rolled over fine but no start. I again looked in the engine area for any problems. Then I saw it. The front pulley and crankshaft was crooked,, very visible crooked. I reached down and grabbed the end of the crankshaft and it is broken. Never ever seen anything like this. The car only has like 71400. 00 miles on it. This could have been a very serious condition if I had been on the highway. BMW has many problems with their engines. This is clearly a material flaw for a crankshaft to break. I have been reading lots of stories about their engines failing over bad materials used in building BMW engines. I think BMW should fix my car under a factory recall at no cost to me. This car has cost me tons of money to keep up, and I baby this thing. Engine failed going no more than 5mph in my driveway. And yes it was full of oil and all fluids. The car looks brand new. Thank you for any help on this. Joey brady 270-699-9991.
