N20 Engine Replacement

TylerMcCraw · 08-08-2016, 10:43 PM

So my N20 328i is getting its engine replaced under warranty on account of it was burning excessive oil... I will post whatever was the exact cause of this when I get the paperwork after I pick the car back up..

*UPDATE* Engine has arrived at dealer August 10th

Placing bets it was probably tuned.

TylerMcCraw · 08-09-2016, 12:22 AM

Haha, Nope... Bone stock, I was literally about to install the tune. But I have all the mods waiting for the new motor now

Hi! How much is considered "excessive consumption"?

Good luck with the new engine...

etinifni · 08-09-2016, 08:11 AM

How many miles did you have?

TylerMcCraw · 08-09-2016, 12:38 PM

I Had 55k Miles and it was burning almost a quart a week.

So they replaced it after the original warranty lapsed or was it a CPO or extended warranty?

Good luck with the new engine.

TylerMcCraw · 08-09-2016, 07:18 PM

It was CPO

cncmastr · 08-09-2016, 07:20 PM

Curious, I was the engine broken in when you first got it?

So... previous owner/lessee abused the crap out of the car?

It amazes how often BMW steps up and does what other manufacturers won't.
Putting in a whole new engine into a CPO BMW shows that their extended warranties ARE WORTH IT, and that really adds value to the whole brand in general.

I have to agree - very impressive. I had an E36 318i which developed a bad head gasket out of warranty and BMW replaced it anyway as a good will gesture. Never forgot that and have owned several since.

Hope everything works out well with the replacement!

CAI wont void the warranty?

My S/A Is pretty cool with modifications.. Technically just the tune alone would void the warranty. But in order for a problem to not be covered under warranty, they have to prove that the modification you did caused the problem.

make sense.

Do you notice a big difference after you install your JB4? acceleration and torque wise?

i have a MT and i wonder if ill notice/make a difference after JB4 on the low rpm
