Great news BMW was able to come to the table with a solution.

I have recently had my '09 335d diagnosed with buildup -- again. I had the carbon build up cleaned at 40km (under warranty). Now it has come back again and I was told even if I did elect to clean this I would likely need to do this again for another 40km.
Dealer quoted $3k for the job and the car is out of warranty coverage. When this occurred the first time (car was in for 4 months) I asked for extended warranty but was given Certified warranty. Apparently the certified did not cover this so if anyone should buy a pre-owned 335d under certified series then apparently they are SOL as well. Not sure what my next steps are other than to write to BMW Canada. The SIB looks like this is just clean out procedure and does not address root cause of the problem. BMW needs to come out with a permanent fix. How did they fixed the 2014 535d or 528d (or have they?)? There was no diesel offered for 2012 and 2013 so something must have been up at corporate level. |

Wow. Are you now at 80k miles? We should start to see if folks with an extended warranty (not CPO) will be covered for the $3000 cleaning. |

You should really talk to BMW Canada or talk to the service manager. |

Sorry to hear that man. I would fight with them to get them to cover it especially now that there is an SIB for the cleaning available. Will not take them much to do it for you. After though, that is after they clean it for you, I would block the thing off, install a catch can and never have an issue again. And now we do not have AirCare you should not have any problems with bi-annual inspection.

Got news from my dealer. CBU.
In need to have the intake manifold cleaned. about $1900 total. (1400 for intake and about 500 for the cylinder head which needs to be sent out somewhere else). Of course not covered by the emissions warranty, which in my mind caused it all (EGR valve). |

I called BMWNA and was told about the warranty not covering this issue.
Hooper I just left a message to my (idiot) SA about what you said. He really pissed me off stating CBU is not caused by emissions/exhaust. Apparently it occurs naturally, not related to the EGR or anything. He said the engine oil being dirty is most likely the cause of it. @#$% ![]() |
