I have to believe that as time goes on, the market will adust the pricing of replacement parts in correlation to the depreciated value of the vehicles. If not, there won't be too many N54/5 cars on the road.

$635.11 X2 = $1270.22

And then whatever it is to install.

Scooped up a set of low mileage used turbos a while back, just in case. '07 335I Currently at 83K miles, stock boost, numerous track events and no turbo issues.

This is accurate. Tischer's price is similar as well. Install prices have been anywhere between $600 to $2000+, so it pays to shop around (and depends on what part of the country you live in). I think typical install prices are around $900-1250, just based on what others are posting.

Just go to helix motor sports installed I think they go for around 2500. Sick deal

Syndicategt · 06-09-2011, 12:29 PM

$3300 for RobBeck's + $150 in parts (nuts, bolts, gaskets, ect..) + $200 for x4 oil lines (not always necessary) + install ($800-$1500) =

$6000 is way too much for turbos

For 5k you might as well just get "upgraded" turbo's and make the little car a beast.

BTW, I got all these parts from Tischer for my RB Turbo's for $150 + 3" AR DP gaskets. Wonder what the stealership charged you.

alfons335i · 06-09-2011, 12:54 PM

i just payed my deductible for my CPO warranty. if i get another wastegate issue, it'll be the 3rd time and i'll lemon my car, get my money back and get a E92 M3 lol. its a win win situation for me.

vase330 · 06-09-2011, 02:32 PM

Good luck with that man. You really believe its that simple but it isn't. I am also getting new Turbos too and I am out of warranty in a couple more days. Got in right under the wire whew!

D335NUTZ · 06-10-2011, 10:18 PM

Honestly for that price, if I ever need new turbos I'll just get RB Turbos instead of stock ones lol.

BQTuning · 06-10-2011, 10:57 PM

The Turbos are covered up to 120k miles so long as your vehicle doesnt ahve unapproved mods

too bad Dinan is an unapproved mod

THere is NO way BMW will replace your turbos if you have a Dinan tune and Dinan won't pay for anything after your manufacturer warrenty is up.

I haven't heard of this. Is this true? Can anyone confirm this or is there a PDF?

cotmfk · 06-11-2011, 11:12 AM

They must be thinking of the HPFP warranty to 120k.

Page 49 of the PDF. Seems like California covers the turbos and more for 7yrs/70,000 miles.
