The egr thing is an absolute shitstorm.
Affects all diesels from about 2012 to 2015 ish, maybe 2016.
Huge delays in getting it done at dealers. 2 ltr engine parts are more readily available than the larger 6 pot engine parts.
If you’ve been told your car will be done in a few weeks, it’s probably bullshit. Honestly, it took until 1st week in dec for the egr cooler to come in for ours. Then they had no fitting kit for it, as that was on worldwide back order with no dates. To then top it off, bmw had made the somewhat gargantuan fuck up of issuing uk dealerships with list of part numbers for th parts needed for various models......except they cocked the part numbers on the list up, so a number of cars had bits delivered eventually that were the wrong part.....yes our was one of them, so got told 27th dec that they’d now placed the order for the right part.
Our 530dGT was at coopers in Cobham from with sept 2018 until end feb 2019, and even then had to go back again because they’d put piss weak coolant into the system, so needed to be drained and refilled.
Oh, and don’t go expecting a like for like replacement while they keep your car off the road for months either, you’ll get what your given or what your local enterprise hire has to offer that is a bmw or a mini (as they are not allowed to give out anything BMW consider a competitor). Bmw uk will feed you some coorporate bullshit line about “keeping you safe and mobile, but not offering a like for like replacement” while your car is held in quarantine indefinitely with no indication of when it will get done.
Was a proper wind up.
