good luck buddy! keep everything well documented just in case you need to take any other actions later down the road (like possible lemon or further repairs) you should understand your lemon laws just in case because of time limitations.

I'd ask for a different car - a new engine shows up on your VIN and will be lovely to deal with when you trade it in.

Interesting to see it's only affecting manual transmissions and only a few months of last years builds. Sounds like they caught the problem and fixed it months ago.

It does create some questions for all B58 motors, but my guess is the manual transmission puts some specific stress that wasn't anticipated or accounted for.
It could even be a certain batch of parts from a supplier that had a manufacturing defect. |

I'd be more concerned if I owned the car. if any of you own the car and go thru this recall, I'm curious what you plan on doing as far as approaching BMW with concerns for the future.

I'm thinking this was a defective part, considering that link above indicates that only 45 cars were affected. Seems to have been corrected a while ago.

I do know for a fact that on some engine designs, having a manual transmission puts more stress on the craftshaft when the clutch is depressed and that lateral force is exerted against the flywheel/crankshaft. It's called "crank walk" if I'm not mistaken. Again, this could totally be offbase as to what's happening. |
