Why Did BMW Deny the Warranty On This Blown M 1000 RR Engine?

Things crumble, that’s simply the way in which the world works. However, on the subject of machines from massive manufacturers that value tens of hundreds of {dollars}, and are just about model new, all of us wish to assume that it’s in these manufacturers’ finest curiosity to ensure these machines don’t crumble—at the very least not instantly.

Indeed, that is the place warranties come into play. And for a lot of, if not all customers, it’s an awesome factor to have. Well, as it could end up, not at all times.

A latest video from the YouTube channel Motomillion tells fairly a scary story of how their BMW M 1000 RR suffered a “massive engine failure.” Interestingly, the second of failure was caught on digital camera because the bike was present process dyno testing. And you’ll be able to clearly hear one thing go improper with the motor, after which it’s clear that there was some metal-to-metal contact occurring beneath the floor.

According to the video, the bike was being dyno examined after having an aftermarket SC-Project exhaust fitted—not one thing out of the unusual, particularly for a performance-oriented bike of this caliber.

So, what went improper?

Top 5 Street-Legal Race Bikes - BMW M 1000 RR

BMW M 1000 RR

Well, it could seem that the bike was plagued with points from the very starting, with Manny from Motomillion claiming that the bike had a verify engine mild and an enormous warning on the display screen throughout its maiden voyage—not precisely a reassuring sight when using a motorbike that prices north of $30,000. So in fact, the following logical step was to have the bike checked by the supplier.

Just like loads of us, Manny is specific on the subject of who he lets take a look at his bike. After figuring out that there have been no dealerships reliable sufficient to take the bike to inside his space, he determined to drive 19 hours to Sill’s Motor Sales, a Cleveland BMW dealership with whom he had earlier expertise with. Once there, Manny had his buddy Zack, the mechanic at Sill’s Motor Sales, check out the bike. Right away, it turned clear that the difficulty was a lot deeper inside the engine than only a defective valvetrain.

Long story brief, the BMW dealership opened a case for a guaranty declare surrounding the engine concern, however BMW denied the declare after a seemingly hasty investigation which concerned the oil pan being eliminated, and steel shavings being discovered within the oil. As such, the proprietor of the dealership determined to succeed in out to BMW, encouraging them to analyze the difficulty a bit deeper. After a bunch of back-and-forth exchanges between the supplier and BMW, it was lastly agreed upon that the engine wanted to return out for a extra thorough investigation.

With the engine out, it was found that the connecting rod cap of cylinder 2 was free, however the bearing wasn’t spun. Usually, a free rod cap accompanies a spun bearing on account of improper lubrication. However, on this case, it was only a free rod cap with no indicators of oil hunger—and on a really new and recent engine at that. As such, Manny and the oldsters at Sill’s Motor Sales decided the difficulty to be defective engine meeting.

Nevertheless, BMW refused to grant them a guaranty declare on a brand new engine, citing findings like a slight 250 rpm over-rev and the untimely elimination of the bike’s 600-mile break-in rev limiter. But Manny states the rev limiter was eliminated inside the 350 to 700-mile interval acknowledged within the service handbook.

So, who’s proper and who’s improper? It appears as if we’re splitting hairs right here.

BMW M 1000 RR Engine

I made a decision to do some digging myself right here, and reached out to a pal of mine with connections to BMW Motorrad right here within the Philippines. They defined that on the subject of main engine points like this, they often push for an entire and thorough investigation to make it possible for the engine didn’t fail because of improper use. They did, nevertheless, point out that when aftermarket equipment like third-party exhaust techniques and ECU remaps are thrown into the combo, it makes the entire warranty-claim process that rather more sophisticated, as there are extra variables to think about.

They additional defined that there are a few hard-line causes as to why they’d deny guarantee in a case like this. Firstly, the break-in limiter wasn’t eliminated by a certified BMW technician. Secondly, the bike was fitted with an aftermarket exhaust system and ECU tune.

It’s price noting, nevertheless, that these nuances by way of guarantee claims could differ relying on the area, and BMW’s guidelines right here within the Philippines and over within the US might differ to an awesome extent. Nevertheless, what we are able to conclude is that sure, BMW’s guarantee is certainly very, very strict. 

Warranties exist to guard the patron from undue bills within the occasion of malfunction. However, on the subject of tremendous high-performance machines just like the BMW M 1000 RR, the tolerances are a lot smaller and all the things is solely a lot extra advanced and high-strung than in different bikes. As such, you may say that the producer accepts a much bigger threat on the subject of guaranteeing their merchandise can sustain with the abuse.

What’s bizarre right here is that BMW appeared to grant guarantee claims on different blown engines on each M 1000 R and RR fashions. Manny particularly cites the engine failure of his pal’s M 1000 R, which was promptly changed beneath guarantee. However, in Motomillion’s case, BMW appeared to return to the fast conclusion of denying guarantee flat out.

It goes with out saying that circumstances like this positive suck, particularly for fans seeking to push the capabilities of those sportbikes and hypersports. But in addition they threw on aftermarket components and a tune, in order that they already opened themselves as much as this risk.

Luckily for Manny and the oldsters over at Motomillion, that they had the abilities, instruments, expertise, and cash to restore a motorbike like this. And that’s precisely what they did, spending $15,000 USD on a brand new engine.

So, what do you assume? Should BMW have fessed as much as the difficulty and granted Motomillion a guaranty declare? Or was BMW proper to disclaim guarantee on the grounds of tampered electronics and aftermarket components? Is eradicating the rev limiter and putting in an exhaust and tune sufficient to trigger this stage of mechanical failure? Share your ideas within the feedback beneath.
