Out of curiosity, does anyone know how we could find out if the N20/N26 motor fails more with or without the 2TB sport transmission? My car came with 205 even though it's a sportline with 704 suspension. I coded 2TB and it doesn't wind out the gears as long. Less red lining. I'd be interested to know if motors with one, or the other transmission are more frequently affected. Anyone?

Side note, I'll end up trading my jetta in before that, and getting a second bimmer. It won't be a pre 2015 n26. Guaranteed.

Definitely hope the date holds, as my 7/70 expires the end of July.

I do wish I would've just sprung for the extra $3k-4k a 335i would've cost. I actually CHOSE this 13 over way newer cars because it had cool packages, nice wheels, is in great shape and has way less miles than it should. Less than most of the others too. I did so much research, but never came across the timing chain issue. I definitely would've bought this other 16 I liked if I had known, or as I said, just paid more for a 6 cylinder. Ces la vie.

[QUOTE=Poochie;26051061]It's that true for all machines..
All usable mechanical products have a finite shelf-life before it eventually wears out and is no longer useable; which is why God invented 3 year/ 36 months leases..[/QUOTEc I think God invented 3 year/36 month leases so you could be constantly pay the highest possible depreciation expense. Seriously, I get why people have short term leases so a mechanical issue is never "on them". But, there is a high price to pay for that assurance. |

I had a Mazda RX8 that had the engine replaced due to the faulty early rotary engine. I was able to sell that, private sale, for more than it was KBB. Understandably it was a unique car. You'll always be negative equity if selling or trading to a dealer, even if its paid off!

For those of you that still own a vehicle with an N20 in the suspect date range, what would the resolution need to be for you to keep your car?
For myself, my car is approaching the current 7 year extension but well under the 70K mile limit. So while more would be better I'm thinking that an extension to 10yrs/100K miles would likely do it for me. I'm currently pushing 5 years of ownership, so while it would not get me to the 10 years I'd like to get out of the car, it would get me to 8 years which would be close enough. Anything less than this and I am probably done with BMW.

I would be happy with that as an extension. I'm under the 70k miles, but my car turned 7 on 3/1. 100k seems like a rational outcome to me

I don't know - I thought manufacturers switched from belts to chains because chains last the lifetime of the vehicle (assuming lifetime is 200k or something). So the extended warranty should be close to that number, if not exactly 200k. I would expect 10 yrs/150k miles. I am already at 8 yrs 107k miles. So far so good, but under normal circumstances I wouldn't expect my chain to last only up to 100k miles.

I want a car that won't implode during a road trip, and one that I don't need to constantly be vigilant of various noises and symptoms, else the engine will blow. I don't want to always have to think of when it's going to go wrong. I'm tired of planning around "what if my timing chain goes". I want it to be a reliable daily driver that doesn't explode so that I don't miss my daily ventures and am not stranded in -30 and deal with towing, fixing, and possibly putting in a new engine which can take some time and serious $$$. I'm past the 7 years, but am only at 75000km.
