Unless BMW has figured out a way to interchange main caps between engines without machining, which I doubt, they are replacing something else. |

So, I brought my car back to the dealership and it will stay there for a few days again. I am nore longer frustrated but I find this a little comical now. Hehe. Or, maybe I am just going insane. |

The bearings are right there so if there was a bearing problem they should see it. Hopefully it works out for you. |

I feel you on caring less... WORST case scenario, in my mind, is they totally eff it up and I either get a new engine or my $ back. Neither would be the end of the world. And in the meantime, I'm extending my warranty by driving their car. I feel like such an optimist!

Got mine back the other night... Couple hard drives and no clicking. The work order said something kinda interesting... "BMW-recommended re-torquing procedure for stabilization plate" or something to that effect. It also referenced a TSB. Forgive me for my lack of accurate details... I didn't drive the M3 to work today. Just thought it was interesting that BMW has some pretty detailed documentation on this but my dealership (supposedly the largest volume in So Cal) didn't have a clue about it. Sounds like a great training program!
Either way, I'm glad the car is quiet for now.

Ok so here's the details...
PUMA case 35680065 Engine bedplate main bolt re-torque procedure (11 41 050, plus 11 21 500 without necessary preliminary tasks) So I guess those aren't TSB's... just procedures. In my previous post, I said stabilization plate, but I read that wrong... my work order says they removed a stiffening plate (external) and could still hear the noise. Either way, the sad thing is that after my drive to work this morning, I could hear the ticking again. I'm gonna check it out this afternoon in the garage. I smell another trip to the dealer.

Look here another 2011 who apparently has been approved for a new engine due to possible bearing problems. http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=457227 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.

Those show up in TIS as follows: 11 41 050 is the R&R process for the oil pump (and adjustments to spec) 11 21 500 is replacement of the crankshaft

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.

The car in question is in CA. Have you asked yourself why the M3 doesn't come with all season tires? Lambos,Ferrari are in a different class,closer to a real race car. Most M3s are parked inside anyway in cold wx areas to need oil thiner than 10w,for cold starts if parked outside when temps are below freezing. And the lifters clicking sound under a 5w oil when the engine is cold will make a lot of angry M3 owners thinking their engines are goin kaput.hahaha 5w 60 and 10w 60 have the same hot viscosity, the engine will maintain around 210 oil temp even in cold weather. The s65 would handle thicker oil better in cold weather than a thin oil like 0w 30 in hot wx on the track. It's all about compromising,well! Now I'm just repeating myself.hahaha |

Little update. I just got a call from my SA. Rather than replace the whole engine, they only got authorized to replace the crankshaft and bearings. They are waiting on parts.
Last guy (^)... I think you might want to do a little reading

That sucks. I never would trust any dealer to do that. Not when this is BMW's problem. They should have just replaced the engine. Save the hassle and any form off unnecessary problems while tearing the engine down.

It would be really great if you could get some pictures of the crank journals and bearing shells. If this noise is indeed noise from a crank or rod bearing(s), wear on the bearings and journals would be very apparent. |
