Brand New Turbos Covered Under Warranty!
I have an 08 1-er with 40K miles and took my car in for a normal oil change service and was told that my waste gates were rattling. I did some research online and found out this was covered under warranty, so I took it to the BMW of Murrieta, Ca. They were rude and wanted to charge me $300 just to look at the car, so I left. A couple months later, I decided to give a different BMW dealership a try and this experience was amazing! They looked at my car for free, gave me a loaner and within a day I received the good news that both turbos will be replaced, all for FREE! It took four days to get the turbos shipped and so I returned expecting this fix was going to take a while...they gave me another loaner car and the car was fixed in three days!
I have to say, I didn't think I would notice any gain in performance, but I did immediately. The cars air flow feels properly sealed and runs/breathes a lot better. Also, before my BOV wouldn't blow off while revving in neutral but after the new turbos they do, so that was a cool bonus. If you live in Southern California and have any questions let me know I'll give my service guys' contact info! |

I have an '08 also and mine went out at 49,985. yup.... that was close but all covered under warranty. I wonder if the replacement turbos have better wastegates.
BMW is known for improving their parts if they have been known to fail.

The turbo warranty is 8yrs/82k. I'm only at 43k on my '08 but I'm hoping I can get replacements before my warranty is up next August.
