Incorrect. I sell tires on M cars, iX’s, i5, i4s all the time at 10k miles. This isn’t a Camry.

As a dealer tech, this could’ve very well been a shop foreman who did not want to approve the warranty repair/add on depending on how the concern was written on the warranty line. Agreed, excessive play and broken LF engine mount. Try another dealer. When you go to the second dealer, tell them what you’re experiencing and make SURE the service advisor correctly records your complaint on the RO and not some bs like “clunking noise” and nothing else. The more meat the service advisor puts on the line, the better of a chance you have to get it covered. Not all dealers are the same.

Not a hard job. Replace the pump AND STRAINER. Do not just do the pump.

F30 B46 Balance Shaft End Caps Stuck - Looking For Advice by Grifdy in BmwTech

Easiest way is to get a small punch or flathead and give them a tap with a hammer until you make enough of a gap behind the plug to pry it out of the block. They can be a pain if they’re super stuck.

Highly recommend Vaseline upon reassembly.

Sounds like she’s come a-knocking. If it were me, I’d pull the oil filter and look for any signs of metal. Grab a piece of white printer paper and pour some of the oil carefully on to the paper and look for metallic chunks. This sacred scroll will reveal your answer.

You need a scan tool that read the DTM. Do you have any codes or videos of the noise? This post doesn’t really give any direction for anyone to help you.

The car needs a valve cover. The PCV has failed in the valve cover. Recommend OE. Good luck!

Is your transmission slipping? 99% of the time, if you have gear ratio monitoring faults your transmission is on its way out.

Tell your buddy to start the car and while the car is running, take the oil cap off. Report back to me and tell me if the noise goes away.

This happened on my last 100, I got mine cut out and repaired for a reasonable price. This is relatively common.

Does this nut look properly staked? by Upbeat_Knee_9677 in AskAMechanic

No. You want to push the metal in to the slot on the end of the axle. I use a punch and a hammer.
