Good luck! Main reason I got the warranty is because of possible turbo failure since that is the most costly to repair and now that it is covered I feel like I should dump the extended. It is a third party warranty that only covers my 335 to 2015 or 86k miles which ever comes first so it doesn't go up to 100 either. Third thing is I don't really have a waste gate rattle but am pretty sure my turbos are going as there is a good amount of soot buildup on my tailpipes, I have felt more lag since I got it and my buddy said he could see a white puff of smoke when I accelerated hard which could mean the turbos are slowly going all that combined with the fact that I have had to add a quart of oil each month and a half because the low oil light that came on. Called the dealer today and they said they have to be able to replicate the problem, so my question to you is how do you replicate turbo failure if the waste gate is not rattling?
