Two threads with multiple people having turbo failures, with a few a 33k. Fact is, it's not rare.

Maybe we should check elsewhere? Oh look, on the front page of the 1Series section of GetBMWParts.com it's replacement turbos on discount, before any other part.

Funny, I don't see other engine parts like cam shafts on that first page.



Wrong again cupcake, the N52 does not have direct injection. You might want to do a do a little bit of fact checking before you spout your nonsense.
First, let me say my bad on the DI. I had simply forgotten the N52 didn't get DI.
I had a serious brain fart. There's a difference between not knowing and forgetting.
So don't get too excited.

Your "fact check" shows you to cherry pick some posts.
You can cherry pick and post about turbo failures, but it's not common, not at all.
I read your thread links, and clearly there is NOTHING there to show any high level of, not even modest levels of turbo failure as you allude to.
Reread my post again, cupcake, and note that I wrote that early turbo's had waste gate issues, AGAIN, that have been taken care of and fixed.
Where in those 2 threads that you link do you see a lot of turbo failure to support to your point?
I don't see/read that at all.

Your link to a parts supplier is evidence for what?
Oh, yeah, they sell replacement parts. And, if one is looking for replacement parts for a turbo, then it's obvious one would go to a parts seller to look for those parts. What does that have to do with your suggestion that BMW turbo's are prone to failure?
Again, nothing.

Regarding the rest of my post, it's far from nonsense.

NO further comment on the HPFP issue?
Have you since learned that it's been fixed?

It's ok. If I can admit where I'm wrong, so can you. Yet, I sense your arrogance won't allow you to admit it.

BTW, you may try not coming on so early and so strong with an attitude.
Correcting me is fine, but writing what you did and saying I post nonsense, shows you to be an ass.
I didn't come at you in that manner, not at all.

If you want a discussion, we can have one.
If you just want to be insulting and derogatory, then perhaps you should go play by yourself until you grow up.
