Really sorry to hear this^^^^^^ I know the feeling. I had just installed a new battery, coils, 3 sets of spark plugs (trying to fix rough idle). But new tires is another level of despair for sure!
I've got headlights (halogen), stock downpipe, stock axleback exhaust, clear led blinkers (never used), a bunch of different f30 grills, stock intercooler, oil catch can (never used) in my garage. Think anyone would want any of these items of my 2013 320i? |

They totally ripped you off, hope you learned your lesson. If you believe a muffler shop threw away your cat and didnt scrap it for over $100, you're very naive. These DP's are over $1k brand new lol |

If you can find someone who needs a used one (to use, not scrap)... I could see it being worth $300. |

The PACER system is not working too reliably to check on case status over the last couple days however, the 2/14 date is still listed as the settlement day. The two sides had to submit their settlement offers 5 days prior. So BMW would have had to submit something to the court last Friday.
I have not seen any extensions so, it seems like its still a go. We may not have access to the settlement agreement details for a bit of time afterwards. I am thinking the PACER entry would likely say something along the lines of settlement entered, etc. Its been long enough! |

I don't understand the part "must be". What made you think this is the case? There is no requirement in a litigation to reach a settlement

Also i read elsewhere to not use Eco-Pro mode, i stopped using that after i read the thread post on it, basically summed up as it puts stress on the chain when it engages off throttle to that effect..

Edit: This was a quoted comment from this YTuber checking his TC out on vid: "Matthew Wong 2 years ago Engine is at 48k miles early 2012 build. Engine timing chain is no longer loose, from what I can surmise, when the engine is cold, the oil pressured tensioner causes the chain to have slack. This could potentially cause vibrations especially with Auto Start Stop when the engine is not up to operating temps. These vibrations could in turn cause the tensioner to crack and cause catastrophic engine damage."

Maybe they will extend the warranty, longer than 70,000 miles / 7 years. Last edited by Pauloxxi; 02-12-2020 at 10:27 PM.. |

Part of me feels that bmw will offer a discount to existing n20\26 owners to trade up to a new car, this way they mitigate the losses from having to cover repairs up front, hopefully it would come also with more mileage\time for the extended warranty to cover us from TC failures.

1st they offer a discount, which costs them, then they end up with a traded in N20 vehicle which likely requires TC update, therefore another expense. Unlikely. |

So much misinformation here.
Auto start/stop has nothing to do with the guides breaking, nor does it place undue stress on the timing chain. You put the same amount of stress on the chain by revving the engine from idle - which is to say "a negligent amount". The oiling system also remains pressurized once the car is warmed up and the auto S/S function activates, so there is no increased wear on the bearings. The guides are breaking due to a bad chemical composition of the plastic that breaks down over time with exposure to petroleum and heat. The chain itself is "stretching" because of crappy metallurgy and construction, but mostly due to OCI's that are laughably too long, and/or using the wrong oil. It's not the metal of the links that is stretching, either. It's the clearances between the rollers, the cams, and the links. Over time, those clearances widen. Multiply those increased clearances over the length of the entire chain and you have a 'stretched chain'. Example: if 1/64th of an inch wears between the pins and links - the chain will "stretch" by nearly 3/4" BMW had the same issue with the guides failing on previous engines, as well. Look at the M62. Every single one of them had, or will have, guide failure. This is not a new BMW problem. Last edited by AtlantaDan; 02-13-2020 at 06:55 PM.. |
