Is a no no. I bought mine so no big deal. Maybe others on here can pipe in for lease comments.

I think modding a leased vehicle
Is a no no. Can't speak to all dealers, but generally they are OK with cosmetic things that can be easily undone (like the black grilles or winter wheels). Mechanical mods are definitely out. LEDs are kind of a modification to the electrical system - it's iffy, but I'd rather be safe than have my warranty voided. |

So I got partial news for my problem.
Scary news. They removed the oil filter, and they saw a "couple of large loose metallic parts in the engine". They have to remove the oil pan to further assess what's happening. ON A 6300KM BRAND NEW CAR!!!!!!! Man this sucks, I'm wondering if they would take it back!!! I'd be better off with an used M3, at least I think the engine would be more reliable! I am really really disapointed. I took the special edition instead of waiting for an F30, cause I thought if the e90 is in its last year, all the problems should be fixed! I'll get back to you guys with news when I get them. |

Doesn't sound right. Just wait till they get back to you with the final verdict. Hopefully not as bad as you think!!

Engine Replacement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!
Hi guys.
Yesterday was a sad day for my ride. The dealership called. They don't know what happened. My engine is full of metal particules. A bit larger than dust. They've sent pics and details to BMW Canada and BMW Germany. They still don't know/or they know and won't tell me what happened. So the solution : they have to put a brand new engine. May I recall you, my car only had 6300 KM, and I did the break-in religiously. It is shipped from Germany of course, so it will take around three weeks for them to receive it, plus the time to install. So I calculate 4-5 weeks. I'm waiting for the guy who sold me the car to get back to me has to what's gonna happen now....(he's back from vacation today, and It's not the same dealership that the one where the service is done). I do not trust the car anymore. Will all be reconnected A1 !? I'll have another break-in period to do!!!!! (this time I'll just floor it right away, no way I'm keeping it after the lease). I'll try to upload iphone pics tonight, but right now it is an open-heart surgury! Do you think this affects my resale value? (it's a lease, but I was considering buying it afterward)... So this is really an horrific story for me! For five days they gave me a beige on beige freakin' malibu, yesterday I got a 128i, and today they'll hand me a x1 (at least I'll try something different and see how the 4 banger + new AT is). I'll get back to you guys....so be careful! |

I had a 1998 Boxster. Engine replaced at 6000 miles.
Porsche picked up lease payments while car was down. I never had another problem with the car. Yours came with a bad engine. If it is replaced correctly, your car should be fine. Good luck |

make sure you get bmw to compensate you somehow...not just by giving you a loaner car...this is a big mistake...everyone makes mistakes (unfortunate that you are on the receiving end) but its all about how they recover...tell them that. Engine replacement doesnt mean your car is completely terrible...i wouldnt write off buying it out...

But yeah my preference would be take the car back and get a new one, or compensate you in a big way.

My engine light came on as well.... so far it has been at the dealer for 3 weeks, changed the VVT motor, didn't fix the problem, ordered a new DME from Germany, the unit arrived but I probably won't get the car back until next week...very frustrating, purchased the car in Nov. 2011. |
