2010 Mini Cooper S 70,000+ miles

2010 Mini Cooper S 70,000+ miles. I have been notified my motor will need to be replaced at a cost of $14,000 + dollars. They mentioned the timing chain going to the motor that did major damage to the motor. Can I get in on the class action suit?

Is the engine already dead? Did you price used engines? Where are you located?

I wonder if it was AAA that did the diagnosis?

For sure you should try to get them to do it as a goodwill because there as been so many failures.
But if that doesn't work you can ship us the car and we will do the job for close to half that price as that is a lot.
