On an offtopic note, the chime in my 2007 is not nearly as pretty sounding.

The engine should not come off when you replace the turbos. Something else could have been wrong.
It blows that the same car with the same problem is not covered in Canada. it BLOWS.. |

Denied for a tune you didn't have? What did they say, what evidence did they point to? |

There was nothing else repaired, just turbos. My father who is a mechanic looked it up the process with some of his resources and it also called for removal of the engine, 19-21 hour job.

Did they change the oil after they installed the new turbos? my dealer did one at my request. I'm not sure if it's a vital thing to do but I read somewhere to do an oil change after replacing turbos.

Not sure if this has been answered, but does have a section 3 only aftermarket exhaust constitute as "modifications to the turbo/wastegate"?

I'll be taking mine in soon. Here is a video I took when re-installing factory down-pipes.

I took mine in today to get looked at. The tech came out and said that he was pretty certain it was the wastegate. My only concern is that if for some reason BMW denies my claim, I'm stuck with a 3k labor bill. The dealership had previously found a jb3 on it but the service manager said that wouldn't be a problem. I have until Monday to decide what to do. What would you guys do?

New user here, been lurking for a while now...
My e90 with 82.5k miles is throwing a 30FF fault code (low boost). Took it in, dealer said $5100 to replace the turbos. I showed them this warranty bulletin and said they couldn't help since it's over mileage (they didn't even know about the bulletin before hand). Called BMW NA and they said the same thing... They are being sticklers on the 82k limit. Still fighting BMW NA but I've pretty much lost hope that they are going to help me out. Sucks that 500 miles is all that stood between new turbos for free and new turbos for $3-5k. |
