Turbo replacement
Has any one had to replace the turbos? One of the turbos has a waist gate issue.

Nope, never heard of a turbo replacement here.
 j/k.. the waste gate issue is a common thing and many have had warranty work because of them.. you are not alone! |

This car has 39k and has been taken out of warranty
 The car's owner had the car at the dealer for work with Vishnu in the car.

 j/kCommong problem with wastegate rattle. You can buy a used set of turbos on ebay for about $200, the installtion will be expensive. Why would you buy a used 335i that didn't have a warranty? They are a dime a dozen here and always for sale.

5 hrs does sound pretty quick! That would be about $500 in labor around here. So, with ebay turbos, you could be in and out around $800. Not bad.

1 day of work here in Europe. In Germany they charge for the exchange ( labor only ) €860 at a dealership. If you have warranty and your car is not tuned and you have wastegate rattle BMW will exchange the turbos for free.
