For Google:
Apparently Steve Olsen and Patrick Womack of Laurel BMW put couple month statute of limitations on dealer fraud, after that it's perfectly acceptable. |

I can't say I'm surprised at the actions of this stealership based on what's happened to you and others who posted similar reviews about them. However I am glad to see BMWNA has chosen to keep the investigation going and hope you ultimately get your money refunded or are compensated in some way. There wasn't an issue with me or my previous car when the charge pipe split and it had a Dinan stage 2 tune, the dealership replaced under warranty. This keeps my faith in the BMW brand, but my faith in other brands/names is on the fence currently.

OP do you have an update on this?
The actions (or lack thereof) of Dinan have left me wondering about this company and their vague warranty claims. I know I have never heard of someone getting anything warrantied by Dinan so that's a red flag for me. As to the dealership it goes without saying that they should absolutely not be in business. BMW appears to have been good to you but I'm wondering about the status today? |

This is so clearly a dealer/relationship issue.
I've had a CP and IC on my car for years and even had the dealer fix a boost leak in the system with the aftermarket parts with no issue.

When it came down to it, I just found another Case of dealer/warranty fraud under the GM and SM. My SA was clueless as are most it seems. BMW NA has still been by my side but because their policies dictate that the regional guys talk to the dealer first and since the dealer won't talk to the regional guys this is going nowhere and I'm going to get screwed by the system. And by system I mean everyone's system. Though none of this would have happened if, the awful Laurel BMW of westmont service department had just warrantied the part instead of lying to me.

I fortunately was able to limp myself home being about 5 miles away on streets. Now my car is sitting on my parkway, i disconnected both ends, but i am not able to pull it out due to no room... The A/C compressor is preventing the removal. I will try to get some pictures tomorrow morning. In the meantime, anyone here can please give me a suggestion on how to pull it out ?? What is the best way ?? My car has been sitting there for almost a month now...

car sitting for a month because of chargepipe failure? you're probably joking. when mine failed it was sitting 2-3 days and it was only because of shipping new aftermarket chargepipe which I installed same day when I had it.

Since i have another car i could use to drive to/from work, fixing the bmw wasn't an urgency at all. Since it was before the end of the year holidays, combined with having small kids and a house that needed attention, fixing the bmw was even less a priority. i didn't seriously look at the possible choices and solutions until last week, that's when I researched and here is what i found (See below): Quote:
I have worked on other previous 3 series generations before, literally and practically took almost everything apart on my E30s, E36, E46, but for the F30, it was my first time dealing with the charge pipe. Back in december, when i looked at the thing, it didn't look too difficult at all. I disengaged both side of the pipe (at the throttle body (well basically it was already off due to the burst) and at the exit of the intercooler). I just couldn't wiggle the CP from the bottom or the top without fearing to break anything else around it. So i pretty much left it as that for several weeks until past the new year. I didn't seriously find the time to search for the solution until last week. Essentially, my intent was and i didn't want to take anything else out, i just wanted to yank that CP out... How hard could it be... My friend dropped by the house a couple of weeks ago, and one of us would push the thing up from the intercooler side, then the other guy would just wiggle it out and pull it up from the top... Looking back, i wasn't confident (strong) enough to do that by myself. With the CP outside of the car, i started looking for replacement. The OEM Genuine BMW part is around $309 !!! I thought i saw it for $50 back in December, and even then i hesitated big time for the fact that i didn't want go through this again every few years... At that price, it is a no brainer to buy after-market.... The questions were : Which vendor to buy from and which brand ?!? EAS Turner Motorsport Burger Motorsport (who doesn't want to sell to CA residents) Mod Bargains with their 13th anniversary coupon VR speed factory Top Gear Solutions AFe Power VRSF Active Autowerke Evolution Racewerks Price ranging anywhere between $220 through $375. this is only my personal choice, i cannot choose for you since we all have different criteria. i wanted the cheapest chrome polished finish, so it meant ER CP @ $338 free shipping and tax included. (or rather no tax) my car is actually at 78,000 miles and there is traces of oil in the CP, so i will definitely invest in an oil catch can, and will try to do a Walnut blast later. The CP is on its way, so i should get it by the end of the week. Quote:

After watching your video, i got the confidence to move forward... that's how i got the CP out a few weeks ago, with the help of my friend noneless. I will surely do and post photos once i have it installed back next weekend if everything goes well. I am also trying to bleed the brake, flush the coolant, change the oil, replace the accessory belt and replace both of my front doors' locking actuators, they are going bad. For over a month now, i have been driving the minivan Can't wait to hear the crack/pop and burble of the 335i exhaust again...

Tip of the day....
I bought new seals for my replacement... I know they say you can use the old ones.... but any rubber seal has a shelf life and for the few dollars they cost I suggest replacing them... |
