New Engine... Is it the right one??

[Niel333]

So my new engine arrived and it will probably be in the car in 2days time, BUT how do I know its a CSL engine and not just a normal M3 engine?? They did order it off the chassis number(so they say) but if I want to be certain ,how would I tell?

But seriously, its a brand new engine and if you look at BMWFans.info it says production on new has been discontinued and shows only remanufactured units available?

Hi,

Take the Cam Cover off and Cross check
the Part numbers on the Cams with
the CSL ones, if your believing that the
Austerity Cuts have now engulfed
BMW Admin/Logistics.

Sticking your hand in the crate is a lot
simplier though.

The short engine(block) is the same. It's only the cams and exhaust valves which differ.

So Ive done about 300km's on the new engine, not going past 4000rpm, and this weekend the same engine noise returned as before they replaced it, WTF??? Sounds like vanos at low revs and at 3500rpm it sounds like bearings.... How is this possible?

Did they change the oil cooler and all oil lines?

ECU fault?

[Niel333]

No, they took out old engine and put in a new one, I dont think they checked anything else....

I dont know if they previous owner did a chip at some point, can it be the cause?

Oil contamination could cause the same issues as before. Surely they were not stupid enough to not change coolers etc?

[Niel333]

If it doesnt come with the new engine, they didnt change it. They only replaced fanbelts and airfilter... And it was my local BMW dealer that did it.

what noise exactly? explain again

[Niel333]

I just checked with the previous owner, he had software done before, but says it was taken back to standard(he didnt sound too convincing) lets say it still has diffirent software than std, could it lead to a problem like this?

[Niel333]

Its hard to explain but it sounds like the noise the cams make if it ran without oil and its also coming from the top of the motor.
