Warning! Graphic Images!!
Just picked up a 2013 328i M-Sport. Owner did not know when last oil change was done. He said the wife usually took care of it and she took it to a Jiffy lube etc...
I-drive said 6000 miles overdue... I changed the oil asap and found this... When i took off the filter cap, the filter was just sitting in the bottom of the housing. not snapped into cap. I thought that was odd...when i picked it up, only 1/2 of the filter was in my hand! The window sticker says the MSRP was 50K. Hard to believe a person would take it to a Jiffy Lube for service. I'm going to get a UOA from blackstone on the oil I took out, and another in about 3k... China filters are worse than I thought!! |

made in Germany vs made in china lives up to expectations again. I think the more important question why would you buy a bmw from someone who clearly doesnt give a shit about maintaining it?

A lot of stuff made in China is high quality. Plenty of your OEM parts are made in China. Stop equating that country of manufacturing with "bad quality" because it's simply not true.
Plenty of OE parts from BMW fail before their documented lifespan. What's your take on that? Smh. This was definitely caused by user error. That filter has been in there much longer than they said. When he said he doesn't know when the oil change was done that was your first mistake.

I work at a dealership and the amount of people that don't bring their cars in on time for FREE service under warranty is ridiculous!!!!!!!! So many people go 20k-30k miles without getting the oil change done.

"6000 miles over due"... With a change interval of ~10,000 that means they put about 16,000 on that filter. Of course that assumes they changed it the last time it was "serviced".
Scary. |

Finally got UOA report
It took awhile for me to get the report back. I have read on other forums the USPS holding the container for further inspection that Blackstone Labs provides to send in oil sample. I'm not sure what took so long for them to get it. I called them 4 days after delivery of sample and they said it would be done that evening. still took another 4 days to get the report...
looks like the only issue is some fuel dilution. I will get another UOA at next oil change to see if it's still an issue. anyway, here it is... |

Have you seen the rest of the car? did you hear the car run? did you see the inside? did you see the paint? tires? interior? No you didn't...I did and used my best judgment to purchase a car with specific options I had been looking for about 6 months. 2013 M-Sport, black sapphire metallic, leather, HUD, heated seats, sport seats,pro nav, park distance control, B/U camera,comfort access, and shadow line trim. interior clean as a pin, no dents, paint is great, 70% Michelin pilot SS tires. 11.5k...I don't think that's too bad of a deal Quote:
Toys with lead paint, tires manufactured without a safety feature that keeps them from coming apart (500k), contaminated pet food, poisoined baby milk, and hazardous toothepaste from china...Simply not true? Get your facts straight fella... Whats your take on that?? Smh... Quote:

There's lead everywhere in this country, even in home water pipes (re: FLINT). You can't conflate those instances to a whole country, or a whole group of people. That's the lesson.

Greed knows no nationalities or borders. You don't have to go all the way back to Upton Sinclair to find the many examples right here in the USA, right up to the present day.
