this is one link and i am sure there are others, been told it is is a nightmare to change, stupid bmw why couldn't they make it easier?


let us know how you get on, the rear two screw of the engine cover do not come out, loosen them enough and then gently pull engine cover towards you

BMW seems to think that it's a life-time item. Not good if you drive in dust a lot of the time.

Where did you read the above?

Fraser 07-28-2010 04:36 AM
Didn't read it. I just assumed because BMW has made it so hard to replace. And there doesn't seem to be a provision in their scheduled service roster to replace it but I may be wrong.

ah ok ta for both replies

The culprit is a part called a " vibration damper" that is somehow attached to the crankshaft. Mileage of my X5 is about 45k kms. I just want ask you guys if you have encountered such problem and at what mileage ? I almost fell of my seat when the stealership gave me the cost of the part to be replaced. A whopping USD530.00 + labor, tax..etc....:yikes:

Feel free to share your comments..........:dunno:
common part to break down for diesels as mentioned by a part supplier. changed ours at almost 100,000 kms on the odo

Where do i even begin?

turbocharger failure, oil level sensor failure, oil separator failure, etc.
