2013 X3 F25 - timing chain issue
Hi Tim That price tag sounds like a BMW dealer hourly rate If the DPF is completely blocked back pressure in the exhaust could have stopped the engine rotating and caused the chain to jump I have read of it but never seen it in real life. If I recall the camshaft timing chain sprocket is slotted so if the cams are timed so the cam locking tool can be inserted it may be possible to slacken of the chain sprocket bolts and recover the timing. Then refurbished Turbo and and DPF I would be tempted to try that route but as your garage have quoted £6.5k I guess they wouldn't try. I have seen several Refurbished/fitted engines for around the £2k mark there are also BMW specialist breakers who may be able to help with a low mileage replacement I think I would be doing a bit more investigation into the alternatives and their cost before making hard decisions it is your hard earned after all Dave -

ACC radar sensor E91 330D Sport Touring
Hi David Welcome to the Forum How frustrating can they not adapt a sensor from a newer model they must still be able to get them as they still sell ACC systems?? You can check www.realoem.com if you are not aware put the last 7 digits of your Vin into the search box it will bring up your model then check the Distance systems section. If you double click the part number it will give any alternate part numbers that can be used and the models they were used in. Not sure who makes the sensor if you can find out the manufacturers may help. There is a register of BMW Dismantlers I have used Quarry Motors several times for hard to source parts with great success Finally there are companies such as ECU Testing and Cartronix who have been able to bring stuff back to life for me in the past. Good Luck with the Hunt I hope this is of use Dave -

ACC radar sensor E91 330D Sport Touring
I'm a new member. I have an E91 330D Sport Touring (2009) with active cruise control which I bought new. The car is covered by BMW Insured Warranty. My Main Dealer cannot source a new part (ACC Radar Sensor 66 316777883) as BMW no longer make the Part. Can anyone help me find a new or used part from a reputable supplier ? Thank you in advance for any help/advice you can give .... David -

2013 X3 F25 - timing chain issue
Hi Dave. Thanks for your response. This is the report I received from the repairer who carried out the investigation. "Vehicle recovered to site. Carried out diagnostics on the vehicle and inspection, removed the turbo clamp fixings to the diesel particulate filter and found heavy oil contamination due to the turbo oil seals being defective. Engine was able to start after diesel particulate filter disconnected found engine had slight misfire and longer crank to start engine. Fault code 249300 permanent and fault code 273E00 crankshaft signal incorrect. Vehicle will require a new turbo, diesel particulate filter and timing chain replacement to start then vehicle will need to be inspected again for any further issues." I understand the timing chain has not failed but has 'jumped' one or two teeth, which explains the misfire. Also that the turbo easy is likely to be a seal failure and not related to the timing chain. They've estimated £6.5k for the work but no guarantee there won't be further issues, which I understand could be engine damage cause by the timing chain issue. However, is it logical to think that if the engine is running then the risk of serious damage is low? I'd appreciate any further thoughts/advice you can give.
