I have a 2002 BMW 320D. The Turbo has gone and its going to cost €4,600 to fix! BMW refuse to accept that the is a problem with the pre July 2003 320d Model. In my opinion, a lovely car, but a shame that BMW will not show any good will on an issue which is all over the Internet.I have asked BMW to try and do something for me but got a blank refusal. I intend to contact Norbert Reithofer about the issue, and also to the BMW Heiress, Susanne Klatten, as the cost of repair in the current Economic Climate renders the car useless to me. I cannotafford the repair costs, so I have a car in perfect condition, in showroom condition, but useless to me as the Turbo, and Catalytic converter is gone. It also has a full sercice history!

I have reviewed the car, and the only problem that I outlined was the Turbo failure.The car itself is comfortable, nice to drive, has good road holding, and in generable I cannot fault the BMW 320. I previously had a BMW 320i and never had any problems.
