Bad luck probably. If the impeller broke at all, it could've gone through the IC and got into the engine.

I just took my N26 in today for the horn not working. I told them the timing chains were starting to make more noise recently than before. We'll see what they say. My CPO is up in October so gotta get it checked now before I'm on my own dime.

Mine will be done by the end of the year or beginning of next year, more of a reason to get rid of it lol. I take a video every 1k, on top of checking the chain itself, to my SA in hopes they'll give me the okay. Lol.

No mods at all. They changed the timing chain in 2017 but no idea wich version they put in. You guys have any idea why would the engine seize at the crank and fuel would mix with the oil?

They did work on my timing chain in 2017. No idea if it would be related. I'm lost in all this, no car engine should seize at not even 90K KM....

I think I remember someone having an issue about the bearing getting so hot it welded to the cam? Something crazy like that, but couldn't remember if it was timing related. Might be in this thread actually. What has the shop said? if it were timing related, it'd be obvious.

Ditto. Also planning on upgrading to updated TC components before 85000.

328i F30 Timing Chain ~50k miles
Hello,
After reading this thread, decided to also share my ongoing story. I am from Europe. Around 3-4 months ago my 328i F30 N20 engine started to develop that famous whining noise at ~50K miles. I brought my car to the dealer immediately, they changed Timing Chain, Oil Pump Drive Chain and all related components. I got 60% reduction for parts as a goodwill from BMW. Unfortunately, in Europe BMW didn't issue extended warranty letter. I still don't understand why customers with same cars across the world are treated differently, but this is another question. The problem is that I have still metal shavings in the oil. First it was changed during the Timing Chain repair work and second time after around 1200 miles. Metal shavings are still there. I am still trying to convince BMW that the work is not complete yet and my engine either needs to be properly fixed or replaced completely. Last edited by bim3; 08-14-2018 at 01:58 AM.. |

2013 BMW 328i that has been diagnosed with engine failed due to timing chain issue
I own a 2013 BMW 328i that has been diagnosed with engine failed due to timing chain issue and needs to be replaced. The car only has 70 000 miles . I bought it from a private seller 2 years ago . What are my legal options and BMW,s response to rectify this situation? I cannot afford to pay over $ 8,000 to replace the engine . The book value of the car is 10 to 12 K .
Thanks Bob |

My wife was driving her 2013 328I Sedan to work the other morning. Going about 40MPH the drive train and engine light came on and engine died immediately. Not sure if it locked up or not. She was stuck in the middle of a lane for 2 hours with police blocking traffic while the tow truck tried to get it on the bed because it could not even be shifted into neutral.
Car has 110,000 lightly driven miles on it. We are only owner and it had the extended factory warranty and service plans added to it when we purchased it. So she has had it in for every service on time if not early as it was all free. They come back, $16,000 for a new engine and tried to claim she was 6,000 miles overdue on service. We had the records from another BMW dealership who did all the service. They also said cylinders lost pressure and there was metal in the oil filter among other things. Once we proved it had been serviced properly and I found the information here and other places online about the failures they have offered a glimmer of hope. We had to agree to pay over $1,000 to diagnose what happened and that will be rebated if BMW steps up. We are currently waiting word on it and I will keep you all informed. Very stressful! This is our third 3 Series so I hope that counts for something with them. No warning at all just BAMM!!!! |
