honestly, if I owned the car I'd probably be singing a different tune, but that's not the case. I'm waiting for the service to receive the engine and then he said 2-3 days for install. he also said the engine was on backorder. it's been a little over a week so we'll see

With an MT the clutch disengagement loads the flywheel axially. Thrust bearings for the crankshaft are key components in the axial 'load' chain. An AT doesn't load the crank in the same way, more contained as radial loads.

Look, guys, it's not the crankshaft bearings. Really has nothing to do with the engine, but is part of the CLUTCH and MANUAL TRANSMISSION assembly. The automatics have an entirely different system and are not affected at all. It's a <$20 part (which requires $1500+ to replace because you have to pull the tranny). Probably there was a batch/box of bad parts (that went to SA?) Even if the part goes, it's so unlikely to hurt an engine - damage would be confined to the bell housing/clutch area - that your concerns are silly. Clutch, flywheel, that's about all that would likely be affected. It's a chance to replace the dual mass flywheel with a single for better shifting. <I'm going to look really stupid if I'm wrong> Last edited by floydarogers; 03-01-2016 at 11:48 AM..

Love the forums, thanks everyone for the info. Mine is not on the list, whew. Thanks to tim3301@fest for confirming. I wrote to BMW and heard back from them one day later. Nice turnaround.

There are people here who believe BMW can do no wrong PERIOD. Doesn't matter what the issue is, you complain about BMW at all and you are a heathen and deserving of scorn, flames and abuse. Get used to it. Or drink the Kool-Ade.
My car was built 11/3 in SA. Think I'm feeling queasy? And it's NOT on the list. All engines are built in Germany, not sure why just SA cars are affected. |

I've been researching more, and my post might be completely wrong.
There is a "crankshaft guide bearing" in the middle of the engine that keeps the crankshaft stable on the longitudinal axis: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/show...diagId=11_6364 But I can't think why the guide bearings would be different manual/automatic. Maybe the shells were used on a run of engines designed for MT? Anyone cot a copy of the SIB that details the inspection procedure? |

I disagree. You go and sell your car when you're done with it and the Carfax comes back as "engine replaced", I'm confident that would warrant less of a trade-in value. I mean, when I sold my last car a member here was interested but was turned off by the car having had 2+ owners despite a clean Carfax.
