335i Turbo/Wastegate Problems (N54 Engine)
I am having issues with one (or both) of my turbos. There is a rattling noise and the wastegate isn't dumping pressure any more. I have seen that BMW NorthAmerica (which does not include Canada) has extended the warranty on the turbos and wastegates to 8 years/82,000 miles (132,000 kms). BMW Canada acknowledges there is a problem but will not extend their warranty or recall any of the vehicles having this issue. The problem is specifically with vehicles with the N54 engine (135, 335, and 535 models).
This youtube video explains the problem and provides a very simple test to diagnose if it is your turbo's causing the noise. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_ArJdYAHfI If you are experiencing this problem please visit my post on BMW Canada's facebook page and like and comment. http://www.facebook.com/BMW.Canada/p...52439369808828 If you are experiencing this problem or to discuss further please email me at: bruce.inns@gmail.com This need to get some attention before BMW will do anything about it. |

BMW Canada has no affiliation with BMW NorthAmerica.
BMW Canada is trying to claim that they use different parts than the American models... this is bullshit, and is clearly them trying to tip toe around the issue. Customer service representative at BMW Canada (Sabrina) will not let me talk with anyone else and refuses to give me her extension number. Please let anyone you know with this engine about the problem and direct them to my post on BMW Canada's facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/BMW.Canada/...52439369808828) |

Two different countries.
Two different distribution networks, etc..... US emissions laws, specifically Calif. is 8 years. In Calif. anything emissions related is covered for an extended period no matter what the manufacturer says. Since the units are pre-cat and the exhaust passes through them in Calif. they are covered. They just made it universal in the US.

If the recall was made available to all US customers, this means that it's not just because of Calfiornia's stricter emission laws. |

If this is a recall we are talking about. Service bulletins are something else. |
