Sheesh, crowding out the turbo noise. I would lose my mind with a whine that loud.

Hi All!
2014 435i, details in signature. Thrust arm bushing @ 80000km Coil pack @ 90000km (Only 1 went but replaced all as recommended) Accessory drive Belt, tensioner, pulley @ 103000km (didn’t fail but had jiggle, lots of play in the old pulley) Steering Rack knock. Not 100% sure when it went but I’m desperately waiting for the repair kit to come from the US.

Fuel Door release button failed at 42.5k (could not open fuel door) Aux Battery failed at 43k Starter failed at 43k (lost e-drive completely) Tank Pressure Sensor failed at 46k (video from the dealer showed the wires got really hot... inside the gas tank) All repaired under warranty. I bought the car at 42k... There were other warranty repairs made to the engine before I bought the car that were not disclosed when I bought it. Currently going to be contacting BMW of North America to see what they have to say about this vehicle... |

BMW is buying the car back even though the new transmission resolved the issue. I wanted it this way because it cost me a lot of time just to get it diagnosed and all my service experiences were awful. I still love the brand but I don't allow any company to treat me like that. I don't know what I will be getting next though. Too proud and walking everywhere 😬 |

Oil Pan Gasket is one that would be ideal to get replaced in warranty depending on the year of the vehicle. Very expensive labor wise to service depending on where you go. Not really a major failure but the small pin between the exhaust flap and the actuator seems to be able to grow legs and disappear. Just replaced mine. Tail light housing and/or wire can fail or short. Straight forward DIY to repair either.

my coolant return line snapped, and happened to a lot of other people here too. the 1/8" line that runs from the fill tank becomes brittle at the connecting points and will just snap on it's own over time. it's good to replace or could leave you leaking coolant and possibly overheating.

Again at the dealership now. Had the car towed in yesterday for a possible valve cover or a head gasket failure. 52k miles. Vehicle was idling for about 20 minutes and A/C was on the whole time. Sudden loud noise from the engine and the white smoke out of the exhaust afterwards.
BMW is sending me a check for buyback anyway but man I have not had a single week without worrying about the car. Now they are going to want to charge me if it is not covered under CPO warranty and I am going to have to deal with BMW NA to get it sorted out. |
