Just reading the Turbo horror stories on this forum doesn't fill me with any confidence when im driving now. I have a 05 320d with 94k on the clock.

Do you think it's worth changing it now before things start breaking?

NO!

Just pay a monthly amount for the BMW Extended warranty, you can even pay as you go. Might be worth seeing if you can do this first before spending thousands on getting a new turbo.

Just to up-date and ask for any advice. Organised a second hand engine. Garage went to fit it and then said the engine bridge had been removed on the cylinder head and that it might leak oil within 6 months and that it shouldn't have been removed. Does anyone have any ideas about this? God are we unlucky or what??

Injectors

Try replacing the copper rings on the end of the injectors.

I can't believe BMW dealer had to test drive a car with a blown turbo to diagnose it. They could have potentially ruined the engine doing that, as could you driving it home...
