Hey guys, so check this out. I have a 2008 335i 6mt coupe n54. Purchased the car about 8 months ago used with CPO and Extended maintaince plan. Started hearing the heavy rattle dropping down in rpm. Took the car to my dealer, Competition BMW Smithtown (awesome dealer), and the same day i dropped it off they called me and basically said, yeah were giving you two brand new turbos. I was pretty hyped and im picking the car up tuesday. Been seeing alotta different comments on how it feels when you get it back, keep in mind the car has 58000 miles on it and the clutch was just recently replaced also. Gimme some heads up on how i could have some fun on the drive home lol.
As far as the "new 8yr/82,000 mile warranty i don't know whether they replaced it under my cpo or under that new warranty but like i said, i went in tellng my SA that i thought it might be wastegates and the same day i left they called so i think you all should try....with all stock back on lol |

I have wastegate rattle, went into the dealership twice and was told twice that it was normal. Service manager said if it lasts for more than 5 minutes at idle, then he would do something about it... wtf. My point is, my car is under CPO, and if they are willing to sell cars on their lot that sound like this at startup, THEN will I accept it as normal. If that's not the case, then shouldn't they treat my CPO car just like any other CPO car on their lot?

Took my 07 E92 in to dealership last week for waste gates. They confirmed the rattling and agreed to replace it under extended warranty from settlement. Tech took it for a ride with me to confirm it was wastegates. I get car back and they are telling me it is now misfiring and idling rough. Injectors, spark plugs, and low pressure fuel sensor are malfunctioning and need replacement. $3,000 is what they are asking for. Bunch of no good scam artists. They messed up my car. I had no such issues prior to dropping it off for waste gate fix. Contacted BMWNA about this before I storm back in to dealership and end up making the local news.

I contacted them via e-mail as this was done over the weekend. My dealership stated that the settlement covered my wastegates for 8 years/80k or so. If they are aware why would'nt BMWNA be? I will ask once I get a hold of somebody on the phone.

Dude, its not normal. I got mine replaced at ~49k miles on my 08' e92 335xi under my CPO warranty and they even waived the $50 deductible (after I argued of course). I'm not sure whether you have CPO, but even if you don't, they should replace them regardless because this is a known issue with the N54. Its bullshit the way they take advantage of us as owners. Give BMW NA a call if they keep giving you shit and let them know what they told you. I know its a lot of time to spend to argue your case, but its better than paying out of pocket.

I took mine in for excessive wastegate rattle and the repair was declined. They said the car had previously been flagged for aftermarket mods, specifically a piggyback tuner. Some regional BMW NA guy examined the car and denied the claim. They offered to go halfises on the $3000 turbo replacement bill. I declined.
