Just a quick update from me, just finished putting the engine back together. Good as new (or better?) All updated parts, hopefully i can get another 100K out of this thing. I now have all the tools AND experience to fix the timing chain problem, so, if after the suit settles and some of you don't benefit, do hit me up and i will help out. I have all the receipts and haven't added them up yet, but the total cost is around $1500 (parts and Harbor Freight tools). Thanks and good weekend all!

When i was considering putting a new engine in, eBay had several available and you can look at seller’s reputation. 2016 might be more expensive and all you’ll get it same thing with updated timing chain and i’m not sure if you’ll run in into any compatibility issues as there may be minor changes. Me being European living in US, i shipped all the parts from Europe for half the cost what it is here in US. Same brands. All the parts cost me around $1200 but i went as far as replacing cylinder rings, rod bearings etc. i only had 1 bent valve and did it myself in my driveway. Let me know if you have any additional questions.

I have good friend in wholesale Euro parts biz in NYC; a year or so ago we chatted about the 4 banger motor issues, at the time he told me BMW was selling replacement N20/26 engines for darn cheap- IIRC in $4k range.
This was when the timing chain guide failure issue was kind of hot. |

Great thread!
From my understanding the updated parts were from 01/15 and on but recently there is a bulletin from BMW that the 7/70 warranty is up to 02/15. So maybe n20 produced from 01/15 to 02/15 may or may not have the updated parts? Is it true that looking into the oil filler, if you see white timing chain guides it’s the new parts vs yellow it’s the old? |

Correct, just unscrew the oil cap (where you put the oil) and you will clearly see the chain and rails. As you said, white - new, old - dark yellow/brown. I can take a picture of mine in the morning as it now has a couple of hundred miles on it. Thanks

A. Experience the whine for them to do the warranty work? B. Blow up for them to do the warranty work? I have until my odometer hits 100k miles to get this replaced preventatively as my Maxcare warranty ends at that mileage. Bmw knew they screwed up and they won’t stand by their product and give a lousy warranty rather than a recall. |

I think I am going to bite the bullet and roll the dice. My independent guy found me a 2017 engine with 14,000 miles not it. He said he will do the whole thing for $5,000. That's a great deal in my option. Then I can just hope the lawsuit settles and I can get reimbursed. Now I just gotta find a way to sneak it off the dealer's lot. I am not paying them a dime...seeing that I knew when I good it there that the engine was already toasted as confirmed by the independent previously. The indy guy said he might even tear the old engine down on this own time...just to see if my chance it is repairable before replacing it. The guy is super cool!!!

So in another thread regarding the b48 recalls, a member mentioned that his dealer said his n20 x3 is covered for 7/125. I search and couldn’t find any word regarding BMW extending the warranty from 7/70 to 7/125. Spoke to one of my local dealers and they insisted it’s still 7/70. |

Soooooo.....my dealer will be doing the warranty work for me w/o any symptoms. Dropping it off next Monday the 25th with a loaner. Was told that it’ll take 4-5 days? Not really going to question that as I feel the dealer is doing me a big solid here.
