MM did you buy a 335?

Yea I remember, but you hadn't actually bought at that stage had you?

Link to pictures?

What did you buy?

I had it bought and all I think, hence why I was trying so desperately to see if someone else got it solved.

What did I buy? A 335i

I was thinking it looked a bit to aggressive to be a 316! Is it a M-Sport?

I was thinking the same and that it was way too well kitted out to be a 316!

Will the warranty cover the issues?

Nope, I thought it did but it only covers them if the actuator is an integral part of the turbo and can't be bought separately. This isn't the case as I have a new actuator ready to be fitted to see if the actuator diaphragm is the problem. It's been said that it can often be due to the diaphragm breaking down.

I don't know though, I have a feeling it's going to be a big expense to put right because it will have to come off the engine and there's quite a bit of labour involved.

BMW give 12 hours to sort this problem but they are replacing both turbos. This is only really an issue on the one that's easier to access but there's still a lot of crap in the way.

I have also looked into a software update which solves the rattling but increases lag and decreases power. There is a version of the software available which doesn't affect either of these things but no dealership I have been onto knows anything about it. Also, I don't really want to have to travel up North just to get a software flash.
