3/23/2021 driving on I-94 in morning rush hour when engine killed. Was able to roll over to the median between an on-ramp and the highway before car stopped moving. Charge battery light on on the dash as well as check stabilization warning. Would not turn over at all but dash lights/wipers were on (raining). Towed to mechanic I've taken vehicles to for past 4-5 cars/trucks. It was found that the #2 piston ring came off and jammed between the cylinder wall and piston causing the engine to seize/need to be replaced. Once it was replaced and while doing a test drive, the mechanic felt a vibration and they found that there was movement on the passenger side axle so they replaced that as well. The car had 116. 5k on it when I purchased about 2 weeks prior to the engine and cv assembly needing to be replaced. Just got car back yesterday, just over a month and a half to repair.
The car will not go straight. It keeps pulling to the right side, my 2012 535i has been aligned twice by BMW and can't correct the problem. My service advisor advised me that I needed to contact BMW of north America and address the issue to them.
