Unfortunately I haven't heard about BMW helping with costs in any case. If you're ought to rebuild your engine, don't run it anymore. I'm sure some individual workshop would rebuild it cheaper than a BMW dealer, so try find someone. You can also buy a "new" used engine from Germany. Here's an example: http://cgi.ebay.de/BMW-E46-330d-E39-...item231232c9e8

I have heard of BMW helping out with cost due to swirl flap failure but they will only help if the car has full BMW service history, if it doesn't there's no hope. I'm pretty sure Ive seen them cover between 60-100% of the parts but no labour. Still works out very expensive.
