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"
