Still very disappointing that BMW didn't stand by the brand given that the turbo failed at such low miles. We all know they ended up having to extend the warranty to 8 years/82K miles on the N54 engine. We'll see whether they get enough failed N55 turbos that somebody files another class action lawsuit. |

The turbo is in fact covered by the California warranty- 7/70k- if I recall. Of course Georgia is one of those states that help reduce pesky regulations and support businesses. So you are SOL |

There wouldn't be a big market for N55 turbos if they didn't fail. The N54 turbo warranty extension was part of a settlement of a class action. Tick, tick, tick. |

BMW didn't do shit for this, and service adviser at my dealer told me they won't do shit for this:
https://xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-forums/...51k-miles.html Thank you BMW. I used to believe in you (since my first e12 in 1988). |

Stories like this is why I prefer to buy high mileage well maintained vehicles than low mileage ones. Even with maintenance. Cars need to be driven.
Crappy break. But I don't think this is class action material. Call a lawyer though, I could be wrong. Failures would need to be in the many thousands or tens of thousands. BMW does make mistakes: IE e61 rear hatch electronics being water damaged. Class action was settled for that.

Wow crazy story. Did the indy show you the broken part? Any pics? Really curious how and why this failure happened.

Yeah...I'm really curious to know why that would happen to a $76K car at 40K miles too.
