Wastegate problem

seanyoon · 03-17-2014, 03:02 PM

I have a 2007 335i convertible where my turbo rattles possibly due to a wastegate problem.

I called Ralleye BMW to see if my vehicle could get serviced for the issue as BMW made a revsision for the warranty because of a class action lawsuit.

They apparently won't do it and told me that they are no longer accepting new cars when I told them that I did not buy the car from their dealership. Ugh.

Is there anyone here that can recommend a dealership that will service my issue without any problems? Again, my turbo rattles and I read online that I can get this fixed before 8 months or 80000 miles.

They can't deny you that. It's a national recall. I would flip out. Where did you buy your car from?

is there another dealer near by? not sure why a dealer would give us paid by bmw labor hours in this area. im sure bmw is paying less of a rate than you are but it's still income in the door.

hassel bmw in freeport told me they never heard of wastegate rattle. lol

Print out the bulletin and take it to the dealership and tell them you will call bmw of north america. As long as your car is not salvaged, it should be covered.
