Oh, and to update on my wastegate rattle saga - shop foreman is claiming that the new revision turbos with the new wastegates have unavoidable wastegate rattle, even though the old ones did it. The rattle I get letting off the throttle or shifting at 2500 - 3500 RPM is unavoidable, as is the cold start drive off rattle. My only solution is to live with it.

Anyone else have the new turbos and care to comment? The sound really bothers me with the windows down and I'm pretty damn displeased.
I think a small black frame around the license plate looks better but that is just me.

I would contact BMWNA man.

Z just had new turbos put in and I don't hear him complaining about waste gate rattle. I am guessing they don't want to do the labor to adjust the wastegates or have to replace the turbos again.

For you guys who had your turbos replaced did you ask for the old beat up turbos back? Would they give them to you? Be nice to be able to send them out to get rebuilt by RB and not have down time. Just a thought.
