So apparently the clips that hold part #11-65-8-596-430 are known to fail as BMW has provided a Technical Service Bulletin and offers a replacement kit of this issue. The coupler on the turbo falls off and then the clips rust or fail resulting in a check engine light, drivetrain malfunction...

Hey everyone, Had a few problems with my e93 330d with the n57. Long story short, I successfully removed 5/6 of the glow plugs before snapping the last one in there. After many many hours and using a glow plug removal kit, i was able to drill the electrode out using a sleeve and drill and...

Hi All, So I recently got an E70 30d which I knew would need some work, first off there was an oil leak. I removed the bottom trays and oil appeared to be around sump but of course you want to find the highest spot so it appeared to go around the bell housing and I think the final highest spot...

Need to replace an injector and assumed it would be covered just like the long list of parts with the 10 yr\120k extended warranty. Well while my model is exactly identical in every way to the 2015+ that were manufactured after July 2014 but not my 2014 manufactured in Jan 2014. No one at BMW...
