Whats Good 5Series,
So i'm driving to work the other day then all of a sudden a loud metal on metal banks from under the car and all I hear is grinding. I pull into my job then a big ass puddle of oil is leaking from under the engine. I have a big hole in my front differential & need to get it fixed or do I cut my losses and junk the car. If anyone has gone through this kind of a situation please hit me up because I've gone through enough with fixing this car. I'm about to hit 100K soon so is it worth fixing?
HELP!!!!

It sounds like you're fed up with the car anyway, now is the time to cut your losses. I would check in to their warranty first though.

Thanks bro, I'm really stuck on what to do. I don't think I have a warranty because its been over a year & half since I had the car.

What I meant is the drive train, it is usually longer than the standard warranty.

That's something to look into. I didn't get my car from the bmw dealership is actually off a lot in New Jersey. Who would be responsible for that warranty? Sorry for all the questions this is my first experience with this kind of problem & I appreciate the help.
