Chief, good luck with getting some good will from BMW USA with the turbo. Hopefully they'll cover all or most of the labor and parts.

 

I'm actually really curious to see the outcome of this one. I've discussed ad nauseam the turbos on the 335 in a lot of circles, I'm definitely curious to see what happens. It really sucks that it happened to you man, especially when it looks like you babied the car!

 

update:
BMW USA has agreed to charge half of cost on the turbo ($2200) and eat the labor costs. The dealer did ~ $800 in unnecessary repairs due to misreading the initial diagnosis so they're going to credit back some of that towards the price as well. I am relieved as I didn't really feel like litigating a claim against BMW but would have if necessary.

 

I guess $2200 for turbo replacement and labor is somewhat reasonable... i dont know the market price.

 

excellent!

So 2200/2= $1100 -$800 = $300 ?

Very nice

 

sounds like $2200 is turbo only, and not labor

 

Dude, N55 only has 1 turbo

 

I realized that 2 mins after you LOL.

I swear my car feels like it has 2 turbos

 

Chief said they will eat the labor...

 

re-read my post: they're not charging labor and I'm unsure if they're discounting the $800 dollar for dollar towards that $2200.

 

And you still thing that's right?

I was quoted $3600 to repair a BMW 6yo rear differential and under pressure they agreed to goodwill 50%, leaving me with a $1800 tab. It might have passed if it wasn't a part of a serie.

Conclusion in your case; wouldn't have happened with a larger NA engine.

 

Have you heard of the 4.0 S65 v8 rod bearing failures ?

 

That's not a bad deal at all.

 

Conclusion. You’re puckered so tight you’re asshole will continue to prolapse no matter how small of a cock you jam up there.

 

I didn't say it was "right" I merely resigned myself to the settlement on both sides that came about to get this done. Each side gives a little thinking it gave too much/didn't get enough and that's where I'm at. My wife is happy and that's all that matters. BTW-no shit on the "larger NA engine" but there isn't one available in a 2011 335 so what's your point?

 

That's not bad then. Congrats!

And we still have Saintor who trolls on every post, I don't understand.

 

Well, the dealer did go out of its way and ate some more costs and got the final tally down to $1997 with tax. We are very happy with that given the prospect of the initial prognosis cost of $4500+

 

Congrats. Great news.

How much longer (miles/years) do you guys plan to keep it?

 

thanks dude, Probably keep it at least another 50K miles. It's a great car and goes like hell with the 6 speed tranny and is a rock star in the snow with Blizzaks.

 

Awesome!

Would it be possible to share with us your total cost after the warranty ran out, and other maintenance items its needed (in addition to the Turbo)?
Appreciate the info

 

minimal-only routine oil/transmission services, that's it. Brake pads/rotors were changed before service contract ran out. Literally I'd say less than $300 with wipers since 50K. I may have misspoke before, the car only has 65K on it now.

 

I was gonna post but I got the words taken out of my mouth

I'm glad this all worked out for you, I really liked your car when I drove it (one like it would be more accurate), fine car!

 

There is obviously a lot of stuff that you don't understand.

 

quit shitting up the thread would ya guys?
