Service time for N54 Turbo Warranty

How long did BMW have your car for when you brought your car in to have the turbos replaced under the Service Board?

I'm about to bring my car in tomorrow to be diagnosed and, hopefully, fixed. They're giving me a loaner, but I'd just like to know how long I should expect from start to finish from people's own experiences here.

Thanks!

All depends on the tech that gets the car. Some guys take their sweet time diagnosing the issue, and some even go as far as dropping the engine out to replace them. I've seen it take some as long as a week to get it done. Pretty sad for a job that pays ~11.6hrs. I usually get them in and out the door in one day. Best of luck to you!

Update:

Had mine done at Stevens Creek BMW.

Dropped off on Friday. Received on Tuesday. Low end responsiveness increases massively. Car sounds great. I love life.
