2011 N53 Shavings
Hello,
I have a e90 LCI 330i from 2011. I just bought it, doing my first oil change on the car I spotted some metallic (no copper) flakes in the oil filter.No big pieces, max 1mm I think. They appear to not be magnetic. The oil that drained out of the oil pan wasnt shiny or glittery. The car has a full oil change history and has done 225k km (139k Miles). The engine looks clean under the valve cover. Engine runs good with no weird sounds. I read somewhere that bmw switched to the tin/alu bearings around 2011, also for the N53? Could my shavings be the rod or main bearings going out? Could the cam ledge wearing also cause shavings? |
