Am I a crackpot?

What do you think?.

Am I being unfair in expecting this motor to have lasted through a simple diagnostic?

Or am I some kind of a crackpot out to get a free overhaul done on a lemon?

Should I drag BMW SPECIALTY SHOP B to court, sue them for a new motor, installed, and reimbursement of expenses?

Or should I just follow their suggestion that I need to "Decide how much you want to keep the car"- implying that I consider taking the loss of selling it off in this condition?- or better yet, that I give BMW SPECIALTY SHOP B $5500 dollars more to take my engine even farther apart and put it back together again.

I'd be curious to hear from anybody with any constructive comments.
