Angry Dead/faulty Twin scroll Turbo! After 5000 miles only..

Sad to say but after owning several 3 series including a 2011 M3, I can say today that my 2013 335i M-sport is the most disappointing after experiencing a turbo failure of some sort along with other less severe issues.

Symptoms:

-last few weeks upon starting , turbo made a weird noise like you would hear if someone threw a leaf into a fan, but it would go away.

-Then yesterday on my way home I noticed an absence in boost/power when accelerating followed by a high pitched blow off sound...

-10 minutes later the car seems to have reverted to a very weak-no turbo- engine and when I put my foot down to test the kick down mode...nada!

-Does not matter if I'm in sport mode, this car has clearly failed me and I'm not an abusive driver. All I can say is that I adjust the settings quite often from ECO,Comfort to SPORT.


Going to take off work to service but I'm going to dread every moment. Be aware folks and let me know if you are experience the same problem...
