Oil and metal shavings
Hi all,
I need some insight! I just recently took off my HKS BOV and the charge pipe that came with it so I can take it to BMW for its second service interval, and once inspecting the pipe that was connected to the throttle body I seen a lot of oil, with this itself is not unusual the 335i is known for this (I have the AR OCC kit so this will fix that once I install it) but I also notice that in the pipe with the oil there is metal shaving in it as well. So I am guessing there shouldn't be any metal shaving in there and very little oil. (I had to add over a liter of oil over 3 months ago) The car is running fine and I have not felt any power loss but when I did do my dyno test in the past everyone did mention that I should be pushing higher numbers then I did. My car is still under warranty but how do I get BMW to check this out? The car is back to stock and I am afraid to drive it (LOL) but I am going to drive more before I take it back to the dealer. I need so insight with this and thanks in advance!

a new motor would always have metal shavings in the oil within the first 2-3 oil changes depending how hard you drive it...
if yours is a 2008 like you stated in your avatar, you should definitely check out your oil and see if there is chunks of metal shaving... i would do an oil analysis via http://www.blackstone-labs.com/ , they can check the types of metal that is in the oil and give you possible causes and which parts are wearing off more than normal...

I updated my post with a pic of the pipe. It seems to be aluminum (non magnetic) my magnet did not move or pic up any of it. And I sent for that test kit. Thanks!

Well found out today that one of my turbos are going, spoke to a garage that specializes in BMWs and the same thing happened to one of there customers.
So does anyone have the part number of the new improved turbos?

Report Update
Well I just got my oil report and they recommend me to change my oil at 20,000KMs and not at 25,000KMs so very is braking in as it should.
