So in another thread regarding the b48 recalls, a member mentioned that his dealer said his n20 x3 is covered for 7/125. I search and couldn’t find any word regarding BMW extending the warranty from 7/70 to 7/125. Spoke to one of my local dealers and they insisted it’s still 7/70. |

Soooooo.....my dealer will be doing the warranty work for me w/o any symptoms. Dropping it off next Monday the 25th with a loaner. Was told that it’ll take 4-5 days? Not really going to question that as I feel the dealer is doing me a big solid here.

So this morning I dropped off the car and they have proceeded with the repairs. Again, I had no symptoms but they will notify BMWNA that I complained about ‘rattling noise upon start up’. The service advised informed me that they’ll be replacing the timing chain and guides for oil pump and main chain with guides.
Was given a brand new g20 330 as a loaner. Not bad but I prefer the f3x interior. Steering feels somewhat better but not e90 better. Was told that it will most likely be ready tomorrow. |

At this time I am glad my motor blew a year ago, under cop warranty (it literally seized doing a big donut/burnout)

Just picked up the car about an hour ago. Did a quick glance at the repair order/invoice and lots of crap was changed out. I thought I saw head gasket set but I could be wrong as I know that the valve cover and oil pan gaskets were replaced as well.

good luck going forward; very unlikely head gasket would be replaced unless there was specific cause...internal or external leak. post pic the repair work, be curious to see what all was replaced.

Actually, I googled part # 11-12-7-588-418 and it’s the valve cover gasket which is confusing as it’s listed as Gasket Set; Cylinder Head. The other gasket labeled ‘profile gasket’ part # 11-13-7-627-512 is the oil pan gasket. Therefore, the head gasket was untouched. But yeah, very fortunate and car was great for the 1k mile trip. Doing some further digging into this and it seems that techs are given 10 hours for this job.

possible new bmw 328i owner
Hi everyone im sorry if this question has been asked before as I looked and couldn't find anything. I am on the edge to purchase a used 2014 328i xdrive with 66000 kilometers on it Here in Ontario. Driven by an older lady and well maintained and taken care of. Car looks and feels practically brand new. My only concern is this timing chain issue with these engines. As i did plan on tuning it to stage 1 and it will be mostly used for highway driving. My question to you all is should i just stay away from the n20 engine at this point or is this issue a very low risk type problem. the last thing i want to do is buy the car and always have to worry about it.
Now I did talk to a local BMW dealer sales rep and he told me they can check the chain for me before i purchase the car and that as long as i have all my service records they will take care of the chain issue regardless of warranty if there is ever a problem with it. He said its a lifetime thing. but im not so sure thats accurate information because i did call BMW Canada and they said its covered under extended warranty. Last question is also if i do plan on getting this car and BMW decided to replace the chain for me when i bring it in for inspection, does it fully fix the issue of the engine having a major engine failure problem? also is this engine a strong and reliable engine to tune without the chain problem or are there more issue i should be concerned with. Sorry for the long rant. and i appreciate any feedback anyone has to offer, thank you. |

If you want a 328i the n20 is an otherwise really good engine. But buy a 2016 F30 built 3/15 or after, to get the timing chain fix. 2016 is the first year of LCI (refresh) so you will get some other goodies too. Or buy a 2017 F30 with the new engine and improved small-overlap IIHS score -- if you appreciate having legs. |
