Wastegate warranty was extended to 8 years/82K miles. Unfortunately, you have too many miles to qualify.

IMO it's not too bad, i'd just live with it since it's not doing any harm to your car.
If it's killing you inside that you have a waste gate rattle you could always fork up 3-5 grand for new turbos. |

you must be joking. you want him to call the corporation and act like a little bitch and whine in order to get something for free because a part that's been run for 100k miles is just now starting to develop a little bit of a rattle?
i cant believe i'm even writing to respond to someone who thinks little rattles should be warrantied after 100k miles. 100k!? seriously? |

Update recieved my jb4 usb cord today and downloaded the software and update the future use D to 99... and wow it made a huge difference the rattle is for the most part gone completely if the car is parked and i rev it to about 2,500 and let off you can kind of here it a little but its pretty low the car feels the same tho for the most part i didn't notice much of a difference.

per the black and white BMW bulletin, you must have "turbo failure" due to a defect In wastegate to be covered under the BMW extended warranty
if there is no turbo failure and only wastegate rattle then it is not covered under warranty if you are outside your CPO or the original warranty |

There is one G5 board, but two forms of boost control. Can you take a screenshot of your JB4 screen showing the firmware? That will tell you if you have an iso or not.
