That's a 100% fact.
I'm not sure what exactly trigged the ultimate issue but I wouldn't exactly blame Dinan; it sounds like you lucked out and got a weak motor, the B58 can take a few more pounds of boost and survive, its headroom is practically endless, short of the fuel pump limitations.
Dinan would cover it, so hang in there until everything is worked out.
Engine warranty void by BMW, DINAN covers. https://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1614332 |
I agree. I don’t think it is a Dinan issue, but probably a bad motor. In any event, Dinan confirmed that they are covering a new engine. I’m very impressed with how quickly Dinan is processing this claim. They are definitely living up to their reputation. My Dinan dealer has been absolutely great as well. It remains to be seen how long it’ll actually take to get the new engine delivered. It seems like it could take a little while unfortunately.
