Wastegate rattle and BMW of Honolulu

Skatin707 · 04-13-2014, 03:54 PM

Well, it looks like my recently purchased 08 335i has the wastegate rattle. Has anyone dealt with BMW of Honolulu regarding this issue? The guy I spoke to on the phone had no idea what I was talking about, so hopefully the SA does. I've got an appointment this week, hopefully they don't try to get me out the door with some BS answer.

I hope so. My appointment got canceled, but I'm hoping. Otherwise my new to me car is amazing.

i had same problem on my 07 335i (no long own it, i now own a 08 m3)

i bought a cobb access port tune, in the first video you see its worse from the tune. i worked with cobb and they make a new tune that fixes the problem.

video 2..

at the end i rev it, no wastegate.

but to answer you question, will they fix it.... good luck, they didn't fix mine.

Hmm, maybe it's an issue with my JB4. Thanks for your help, I'm going to look into this more.
