Bye Bye E90 Hello E92
So BMW bought back my 09 E90 because of the main bearing issue (they replaced the crank/bearings the first time and sound came back so they were going to do a short block.) I inquired about a buy back they agreed and I found a '10 E92.
The E92 seems to drive easier in the sense that the steering is not as stiff, anyone else notice that? Additionally I have some road noise around 15-20 that sounds like one of the tires off balance maybe but otherwise car seems to be running well, and NO CLICKING! As much as a pain as it has been with the car in the shop I think BMW did a good job of keeping me happy, A+ for customer satisfaction. |

BMW bought back my 335i 2 months before my lease expired because of the damn HPFP problem. They even gave me back 2 years of payments minus mileage. So, when I picked up my new M3 they also cut me a check for 15k! Thank you BMWNA service!

I was not that lucky with a BMW Dealership in Idaho Falls last year ... I was lied to and they screwed me good. Guess there are Good and Bad BMW Dealerships ... just like Good cop and Bad Cop I don't want to talk about it anymore ... Details are here in this Dealership Review Thread ---> in case you like to read about it click here and scroll down to post #26

You aren't the first to get their car bought back from BMW because of this main bearings issue. I hope my car doesn't follow this fate. Hope you have good luck with this one.

Was it a ticking kind of noise? or a rubbing kind of noise? How would you describe it? When you refer to "Main Bearing" was it one of the Main Crankshaft Bearings, or Rod Bearing?
