Look here another 2011 who apparently has been approved for a new engine due to possible bearing problems.

I say fight with your dealer for it. I think the dealers are playing up to this one as another bearing issue is not going to look good on BMW at all. And especially after having the main bearings changed after 10/2008 and still having this problem, I'd say you have to make your firm stand as the more issues they are with bearings, the more cover-up. It's absolutely bullshit that some people are getting different treatments and solutions for the same sound. |
That's me on the other thread. Good looking out though.

To be honest, I don't like the idea of my brand new car getting ripped apart while they try different things to fix it. I'm going to follow this thread a bit more to see what others have to say about their issues before I worry too much.
Thanks to everyone for all of the info.

It's at Crevier. The ticking is very distinctive but kinda subtle... totally repeatable in a closed garage when the engine is warm. This is not top end ticking... that's just valvetrain noise. This comes from the oil pan area.
I just posted on another thread... Crevier is waiting on authorization for a new engine. Good times.

Really? I think they just noted it wrong then. There's no way they replaced my crankshaft. They just did the re-torque. They even sent me pics where I could see the bottom of the crank, but they didn't even remove the bedplate. Good info though.
