I’ve noticed that FCP Euro has increased their TC/guide kits for the n20/26. Earlier this year it was around $570 IIRC. Two months ago it went up to around $650 but now it’s over $700. Covid and/or demand for the kits?

https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw...-11318648732kt I already have a new VCG at home so it will save me $38 off that price, but I will gain it back with the three bolts for the chain guide and the camshaft hub ring or whatever it is.

However, the judge has ordered the final hearing on July 14 and has extended this far. So when this hearing does happen, it should be the final hearing and an outcome should be agreed upon between the two parties. the paper would be signed in the court room that day. So we would know immediately from those present, or later on in PACER or in the media.

Oh it's not good, if you are over 8 years or 100,000 miles its 0%... in addition, this would not take effect to nearly February of 2021.
My car has 101,000 miles of course... Here is a link to the preliminary settlement... www.sjbender.com/72.zip Last edited by sjbender; 08-26-2020 at 08:47 PM.. |

Well isn't that great... My car is a 2013 but 09/12 production. I'm at 93,400 miles so I'm done next week. Btw, how do you go from 40% to NOTHING in the 90-100k range to over 100k smh

Looks like I get rid of mine sometime between now and July of next year then. I'm nowhere close on the miles, but will hit 8 years by then.
This is clearly a case of the lawyers making out like bandits and the consumer getting screwed. In all a complete waste of time

I'm pissed, trash settlement.
If I'm reading this right- document 72-1, pages 13, 14 etc. suggest that if you weren't covered before, you aren't covered now either since the previous lawsuit was 7 years/70k and the new one, being like 3 years afterwards, covers 8 years/100k, whichever comes first. They bought themselves enough time to exclude an additional ~3 years worth of cars. How are you just allowed to roll a case on and on and then provide an increase that's smaller than the time the litigation took? I was out of 7/70k having just had my 2013 X3 with 72k miles blow, and will continue to be with 8/100k. |

All this fuss and time to gain one year benefit, but only if you drive less than 12000 miles/year.
If that doesn't mean BMW doesn't care about customers, I don't know what more people need to see. BMW believes their engines can break after 8 years, and the loss is at customer onus. For sure they have good lawyers. Good luck for us with "our time bomb"... and hopefully we don't loose our engines while driving full speed with a semi in our tail. |

I know others understandably wouldn't have liked it, but I could have accepted the 100K limit if it the buckets for sliding coverage were 8/80K, 9/90K and 10/100K
Capping the time at 8 years makes no sense to me, as this really should be tied to mileage. Another BMW was high on my list for our next car, but not if this is how they value their customers. Clearly all they care about these days is selling into China.

If it was linear after 100k with an additional year then it would have been great. Example 100-110k/9 years 30% or something like that

Btw, for the job do the oil pan bolts HAVE to be replaced? That would save around $70 on cost, but if it has to be changed then it is what it is.

Well, based on the terms of this settlement it appears that many forum members were right when they claim that BMW considers "lifetime" as 100k. So 'lifetime' anything (fluids, components, etc) should be considered to have a life of 100k?
