BTW, The engine went at 102k miles. The sounds started around 80k. I should have done my homework then, and fixed it. In regards to modifying the engine. I can 'almost' guarantee you that will void any warranty so good luck getting them to fix the engine if yours fails with add-ons. All IMO of course. |

I'm not holding my breath anymore. I don't see this getting resolved before the end of this year. I'm just going to go ahead and do it myself.

I don't dislike BMW -- of course. I want them to succeed and continue making great cars.
But they handled this all wrong. Not only do I hope they are forced to take care of their customers, like they should have, from the beginning -- but now I wish there were punitive damages to punish them for their stupidity and unethical behavior. |

I totally agree with that they handled this wrong. I am sure there is a HUGE price tag to go along with this... They wanted 18k to replace my engine so using 15k assuming a moddest 50,000 cars... 750 million is a lot of money. Probably cheaper for a buyback honestly. Give me a M6 and we can call it even! |

Just a quick update from me, just finished putting the engine back together. Good as new (or better?) All updated parts, hopefully i can get another 100K out of this thing. I now have all the tools AND experience to fix the timing chain problem, so, if after the suit settles and some of you don't benefit, do hit me up and i will help out. I have all the receipts and haven't added them up yet, but the total cost is around $1500 (parts and Harbor Freight tools). Thanks and good weekend all!

When i was considering putting a new engine in, eBay had several available and you can look at seller’s reputation. 2016 might be more expensive and all you’ll get it same thing with updated timing chain and i’m not sure if you’ll run in into any compatibility issues as there may be minor changes. Me being European living in US, i shipped all the parts from Europe for half the cost what it is here in US. Same brands. All the parts cost me around $1200 but i went as far as replacing cylinder rings, rod bearings etc. i only had 1 bent valve and did it myself in my driveway. Let me know if you have any additional questions.

I have good friend in wholesale Euro parts biz in NYC; a year or so ago we chatted about the 4 banger motor issues, at the time he told me BMW was selling replacement N20/26 engines for darn cheap- IIRC in $4k range.
This was when the timing chain guide failure issue was kind of hot. |

Great thread!
From my understanding the updated parts were from 01/15 and on but recently there is a bulletin from BMW that the 7/70 warranty is up to 02/15. So maybe n20 produced from 01/15 to 02/15 may or may not have the updated parts? Is it true that looking into the oil filler, if you see white timing chain guides it’s the new parts vs yellow it’s the old? |

Correct, just unscrew the oil cap (where you put the oil) and you will clearly see the chain and rails. As you said, white - new, old - dark yellow/brown. I can take a picture of mine in the morning as it now has a couple of hundred miles on it. Thanks

A. Experience the whine for them to do the warranty work? B. Blow up for them to do the warranty work? I have until my odometer hits 100k miles to get this replaced preventatively as my Maxcare warranty ends at that mileage. Bmw knew they screwed up and they won’t stand by their product and give a lousy warranty rather than a recall. |
