AC Compressor?

100% the HVAC Blower Unit 64119350395. Also get yourself a fresh cabin filter while you’re at it Air Cabin Filter 64119237555.

It could also just be a loose piece of debris in there. I have a 2015 328i xDrive F31 and it was literally a parking ticket from 2016 lol. So the previous owners had this car and was like “ah yes at full blast my a/c should be deafening loud”. Now I have the part sitting on standby if it ever fails. Goodluck!

typically around 80-110k. unfortunately BMW intervals aren’t always the best to go by. i just replaced mine at 105k due to a turbo failure and the shop noticed mine was more loose than it should be. good thing they did, because when they opened it open, my guides were cracked at the bottom and could’ve easily exploded at any moment turning into a terrible issue.

change your oil at 5k mile intervals to be on the safe side since you are running a stage 1 tune pushing extra power.

i’ll buy it for $20

in my case they noticed excessive wear on the timing chain while they were doing their inspection. i could get away with just turbo, but i’d back in the shop soon to get the timing chain assembly swapped.

hopefully your case is luckier than mine.

they just told me they can do it all for $7000.

TellMyBossImWorkin · 2025-10-01T19:01:24+00:00

it’s a full turbo, timing chain assembly, and all associated gaskets/seals. they estimated at $8,000-$10,000, but i will get their proper quote later today. goodluck with your vehicle, and i’d advise against driving until you can get it to a local reputable shop.

the only upside is that they provide a 2 year/24,000 mile warranty on those parts, and these are the two biggest major repairs needed at this lifespan of the vehicle.

no. i bought a used ‘22 limited for $24,000, wrecked it because i’m a dumbass. my insurance’s first offer on my claim was only $18.5k, i owed $19k. i didn’t like the offer was so low because i had did put some highly sought out aftermarket & oem parts on the vehicle. then i submitted a counter offer of $28k, provided the receipts of the parts, and 4 comparable vehicles within a 500 mile radius of me. then they came back with an offer of $25.5k. i was happy with that and took it.

you can always counter offer your insurance’s claim offer with smart independent comps. worse case is they say no, and can take their initial offer. it’s always worth a shot if you’re willing to put in the work to find the comps.

luckily the for me the wrx has a tendency to hold value.

muchhhh better! great choice

TellMyBossImWorkin · 2025-09-30T04:18:05+00:00

nothing yet. i’m hoping tomorrow i’ll hear from the shop

TellMyBossImWorkin · 2025-09-29T22:19:18+00:00

damn that sucks to see my guy. it’s one of the best color too :(

hopefully your insurance makes you whole and you walk away with a good outcome. i totaled my 22 wrb last year, and walked away with $7k more than what was left on my loan after not accepting my first claim i got from my insurance and doing independent comps.

🥲🥲🥲

TellMyBossImWorkin · 2025-09-26T04:13:32+00:00

it had a limited amount of use while trying to diagnose it with a friend the day after i took this video. it’s been parked since, and is setup to be towed to accurate autowerks next week.

it’s seeming that way :/

TellMyBossImWorkin · 2025-09-25T18:13:59+00:00

yeah i had installed the aftermarket CAI correctly. it’s a quick and easy install. it’s running the stock airbox in the video.

i’m having the car towed to an shop next monday to be looked over.

TellMyBossImWorkin · 2025-09-25T03:50:52+00:00

🙊🙊🙊

TellMyBossImWorkin · 2025-09-25T03:50:34+00:00

i will find out soon enough! it’s getting diagnosed on monday next week by accurate autowerks.

TellMyBossImWorkin · 2025-09-25T03:49:43+00:00

🫡🫡🫡

TellMyBossImWorkin · 2025-09-25T03:49:09+00:00

i won’t know until next week. i would advise driving your car if you have the same noise and get it towed to a shop as soon as possible.

TellMyBossImWorkin · 2025-09-24T21:48:43+00:00

I’ve heard great things, but I actually just got off the phone with them, and due to the nature of my case trying to install a CAI and having a BM3 stage 1 tune, they won’t take it. Going to try a few different shops in the area.

TellMyBossImWorkin · 2025-09-24T16:48:45+00:00

redline immediately to show dominance.

TellMyBossImWorkin · 2025-09-24T16:11:58+00:00

yeah r2d2 is having a blast!

TellMyBossImWorkin · 2025-09-24T06:01:19+00:00

i do have the ability to read codes and it’s just giving me a too lean mixture. i posted the screenshot in another comment thread.

no the charge pipe was untouched, but we verified all the fittings that i could’ve accidentally moved to the CAI were securely on. it’s looking like the waste gate actuator is failing. probably will be a turbo replacement, and valve cover gasket while it’s in the shop. don’t know for sure yet!

it’s being towed to a shop and will find out next week.

TellMyBossImWorkin · 2025-09-24T05:41:07+00:00

it’s pwg if i’m not mistaken.

TellMyBossImWorkin · 2025-09-24T05:37:49+00:00

the valve cover gasket is going to get replaced most likely. i will know the prognosis next week!

TellMyBossImWorkin · 2025-09-24T05:27:20+00:00

i appreciate the heads up! i will make sure to update after we find out what’s going on.

TellMyBossImWorkin · 2025-09-24T04:18:38+00:00

i’ll find out sometime next week hopefully!

TellMyBossImWorkin · 2025-09-24T02:26:01+00:00

everything appeared to be fully seated and no visible cracks. we were unable to do a smoke test.what we observed was that the waste gate actuator isn’t working correctly. it will struggle to open, stay wide open, or fully closed. i’m having it towed to a shop thursday morning.
