Hello
Looking for some advice.
I purchased a 118D 1 Series in November 2019 66 Plate, vehicle had done just under 20,000 miles. It broke down on me yesterday. Power lost, won’t go above 20MPH and loud whistle noise when driving. Took it to local garage and they advised they believe the turbo has gone. I’ve just come out of the 6 month warranty from the dealership I got it from. Absolutely gutted as I’ve only put 5,000 miles on it since purchase and with the lockdown have hardly used it. Is this a common fault with BMW? I’ve looked online and it uncommon for a turbo to go at 25,000 miles. The dealership aren’t accepting any responsibility as I am out of warranty 😞
Any advice re putting in complaint to BMW? Surely for something major like this to go wrong on a car of such low mileage?!
Does anyone have any experience re cost of replacement etc.
Single Mum and after spending £15K on a car that I though I was investing in to be reliable it has turned into a nightmare!!
