F30 2013 335I Crank Bearing failure!!!!
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com I was at my local dealer having the oil on my gf x3 i35 changed and I see the bottom half of a N55 removed.... I asked the tech and he explained the customer had been complaining about a clicking sound only when the engine was hot and up to temp. After 30+ hours of trouble shooting it was determined that the crank and main rod bearings were failing and needed to be replaced. Puma case was opened and work began. I was surprised to see the amount of wear on the shells, car has 13,000kms. Anyways if anyone has questions or a click sound coming from their engine might want to have it looked at!! Thanks Alex

I am at 11500km now. We'll see what happens. Wait. What WOULD happen if the crank and the main rod bearings failed on me ON the road? |

Was the car on lift #5 the one you referred to have the "Crank Bearing failure"?
It didn't look a 13' F30 335i to me - side mark on front fender? Not on my 13' F30 |

OP is in Canada. That is the Sport line badge. All cars in the US get the line designation delete so we don't have that badge here (thank goodness).

Even 6 sigma quality level is 3 defects per million parts, and not many reach that level There's a 4 yr 50K warranty. Sucks for the OP for his wasted time and hassle, but BMW will fix it on their dime.
