You learn things that one should not have to learn The Hard Way. These car manufactures KNOW there are parts that will fail over 100000 miles, we know it is pricy to replace them but at least WARN us....Hot Oil, Fast moving chain, Metal on plastic, D'ooh.....

Wow that sucks!! Hope it is back on the road soon. Why was it out for 8 months - were you debating on whether to fix it? What preventative action could you have taken, and what time bomb did the mechanic say he "checked" but ultimately failed?
At least you have your M2 to keep you entertained!
