BMW 335i (N54) turbo warranty extended for wastegate issues to 8yrs/82k miles
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com This is on top of the HPFP 10/120k warranty. I guess Im going to skip that extended warranty purchase!! The only other critical part are the injectors but those are cheap now. $120 each and its not like all six would simultaneously fail. Models Covered:
Edit: I believe BMW AG saw this lawsuit coming miles away and prepared themselves. I think how they prepared themselves was very smart. First, introduced the N55 engine immediately into the 2011 line-ups in the existing E90 models. Secondly, for those wishing to have N54, since there was technically still a prized market for it, introduced a secondary model called 335iS. These two changes completely eliminated any legal liabilities with regards to turbos, wastegates, or injector issues since the majority of the class action lawsuit was being represented by N54 owners in the 2007-2010 years.

Go figure, Im sure our founding fathers would've like to change this one. This is pretty recent news since it was made in July 2012 just last month. This means that if anyone of you ever get turbo trouble, fear no more because the dealers are more than happy to fix it and give you new turbos free of charge. Sorry about those who arent in CA. Maybe you can open a PO Box and change your residence address to it to qualify. |

You are screwed on that since the lawsuit was specific to N54. This only applies for MY2007 to 2010 N54. |

This has zero to do with the lawsuit and everything to do with CA emissions control laws! In CA, for any car that was originally sold in CA, emission-related parts are warranted for 8 years and 82,000 miles. If you have a CA car, look in your maintenance book -- it's right there.
Emissions warranties in other states vary -- you need to check your state. BTW, injectors are "emission related parts" in CA as well. |

No, this has to do with the lawsuit. Turbos weren't warrantied under emissions period even in Cali. The lawsuit changed that to follow Cali's emissions warranty period but accross all states, not just Cali. BMWNA is going to warranty the turbos in the same way as the HPFP, same accross all states.
There is another thread in engine section that has been following this lawsuit for months now since BMWNA lost the suit. |

From a guy that was going to buy the extended service plan for around 2k, this makes me happy. I'm sticking with CPO.
Only other thing I'd be worried about is the tranny. Don't think CPO covers. |

I just paid the dealer to replace the front turbo to (finally) fix my wastegate rattle. Id love to see proof that the warranty is extended so I can try to get my money back!
Who knows what is going on? |

It is 100% Legit as it can be. The SA brought it up to me, I didn't. |
