Different issue, but my X3MC went back the day after pickup.
I picked up Saturday night, 5 mins out of the dealership smoke is coming from the engine bay. Pull over, nothing is on fire, car isn't overheating, so I get home (another few mins), discover what looks like oil in the engine bay. Dropped it back off the next day, dealership has been great, gave me the nicest loaner they have. Evidently the car needs a new valve cover. I told them I wouldn't keep the car if it needed major mechanical, but I know valve cover isn't a huge deal, so I'd rather have the car back sooner. I should be hearing about parts availability today, so if its some stupid shit like a month out, I will also be pushing for a new car.

Out of curiosity though, what would cause the turbo to fail? Presumably only 1 turbo failed?

You may even be able to get a sweet deal on a new BMW (if you want another one) -- my Volvo dealer was trying left and right to get me to stick with another Volvo giving me some crazy discounts....hang in there and you should be fine - even though it's frustrating having to go through it all... |

Just FYI - My 2019 X3 M40i had a wastegate actuator failure too at about 10K miles and less than 1 year of ownership. After they replaced the actuator, there was still a leak so they ended up replacing the turbo too. It only took them about 1 week to get the parts and return the vehicle to me.
If this happened to me with a brand new vehicle, I'd be extremely disappointed and wouldn't want to keep it either. Good luck and I hope you get the resolution you expect and deserve. |

Good for you! I'm glad you got the resolution you wanted and a new car too. Fingers crossed that the next one doesn't have any issues.
