Problem solved. The OP brought the car down to my shop today. The car didnt need turbos at all. The charge pipe blew off the coupler @ the throttlebody. I do not know how the dealer didnt see this, let alone charge $400+ to do nothing!

HAHAHA you could clearly see that just from opening the hood

OP, let the dealer know what's wrong & how they dropped the ball on something fairly obvious

Lol. RB Turbos are 3000, after you send your cores in. Install by clem is far less than the labor rate dealer will charge you. If you know a BMW Tech, it'll probably be 1.3-1.5k.

Total cost: 4500$.

RB Turbos > OEM Turbos.

Same reason people don't look at the posts saying "why didn't you glance at the date"
