Here's the document that goes into greater detail on the SULEV warranty: www.kiesmotorsports.com/blogs...
-----
Hey Everyone,
In today's video, we're answering a huge question... what happened to the cheapest F30 in the country?!?! Well, as you may remember in our first video ( • WE BOUGHT THE CHEAPEST... , we bought a BMW F30 328i (n26) with the timing chain failure. We initially thought that we would do a cool motor swap on it, BUT we talked to our local dealer to see if they had any input on any quick fixes and found out about the SULEV warranty that got us a new engine, turbo, and radiator!
Keep in mind that the SULEV is EXTREMELY limited on what it covers and where you live, so this will not apply to everyone, but if you live in this area, you should certainly talk to your dealer about possible coverage for your car!
Here's the part number for the timing chain that typically fails: Build Date Up to 01/2015 - 11317584084
This timing chain is normally okay: Build Date After 01/2015 - 11318648732

Not sure how you got so lucky Brian. My 2013 328i with 109K N26 engine just had the exact same thing happened. Vehicle is registered in Vermont so definitely has SULEV coverage. Towed it into dealer and BMW is denying coverage under SULEV because Oil Pump, Oil pump chain, Timing chain, timing chain guides are not among the parts listed, which makes since to me. I think maybe they hooked you up because you go there a lot or they wanted some free publicity on your KZfaq channel. For those of you who after watching this video are banking on keeping your N26 till the engine grenades from a timing chain related failure DON'T DO IT because you are going to be out of luck. Sell the car immediately if it is still running and count your blessings you dodged the bullet.

CJ, I just reviewed and watched your awesome comments on this free motor. I must thank you big time as I just came from my dealer and had to walk out with just the diagnostic fee because I simply can’t afford the cost of replacing the turbo which BMW told me the failure was. At a cost of 6K geez I thought that would be an engine, but just the turbo. Let me tell you I got a quick education. So I started researching to make this a diy project and save the labor cost. I’m not new to BMW by any means but with sever arthritis at age 64 it’s all I can do just to spin a wrench. . That cost at the dealer for replacing just the turbo alone is 6K. I hope I’m I taking in your info correctly when I assume they will replace the turbo only seeing that was listed in the warranty paperwork you scrolled through in this video. So in regards to those warranty paperwork notes, how do I download the information paperwork that you scrolled though and I must stress the emphasis on my turbo which was is my issue. I believe I meet all of the requirements. I’m in Connecticut and this state covers and rollbacks to 2007 as noted in your video of that paperwork And I do have the ultra low emissions ULEV. I hope to hear from you soon. Please and thank you.

All 8 of my prior BMWs were super reliable with non- turbocharged engines running 100k+ miles (and even 225k+ for my E39 540iS!) on just scrupulously followed preventive maintenance. But I was planning on selling my current car due to the question of longevity with the turbo. Look at what is covered in the SULEV document! It looks like I can keep “Gretel” to closer to 150k. Thanks for the info and great channel.

If your bmw has a check engine light caused for whatever reason, bmw has to fix the root problem, at least in california. Check engine light is an automatic smog test failure, and sulev has a clause stating that they will make any repairs necessary to pass smog test. Thats why despite the timing chain not being on the parts list, it was fixed anyway

The settlement was reached in 2021 - so hurry if you have a problem. Read the final settlement terms, and don't let the customer service person turn you away without them fully understanding the extended warranty. Definitely mention the SULEV warranty.

Yes, Its a interference engine so if the chain stretches too much(usually by 140k) the teeth on the gear will skip, causing the piston to slam into the intake valve and destroying the engine. The dealer estimate is over 20k to replace so its better to pay 2500 now vs totaling your car.

Are they gonna let you keep the old motor? I feel you could do something with it.

Question: If you take the car to a dealership in say Cali, but are from Colorado, would they still be forced to cover a defect?

I just bought a 2011 e90/n51 w/75k miles and stumbled on this warranty info when doing more research on the vehicle. In the video, the state chart you displayed it mentions Pennsylvania has partially adopted it for my year, but what does that mean?
