The bill was 0$ but the it woulda been around 6 or 7 grand. If it wasnt for the warranty.

2 turbos and labor is pricey

what year your e92?
was the rattling bad?

Ya.
Definitely worked out well for me.
I have a third party warranty that would have covered it but didnt even need to use it.

This warranty is only in USA correct?

My turbos were replaced for WG rattle earlier in the year. Rattle was gone for a week, and then came back, and now the new turbos are howling on top of it. I should have just kept my old units.

I know its just bmw North America.

Sooo that would be you.

But its a different country so idk.

Someone else that posted on here seemed to think it was just the US.

Idk enough about to really say either way.

It's slightly confusing, but "BMW North America" is actually just the legal name of BMW in the United States only. "BMW Canada" is a separate legal entity governing Canada. All rules/warranties/coverages here are set by BMW Canada only.

Well that's a nice kick in the nuts by BMW! This is insane you pay 70+k for a car and you get a shitty rattle that makes you sound like a shitty fart canon civic.
