hi guys.

my 2014 m3 is behaving exactly like my n55 335i.
showing similar problems. bmw have changed spark plugs,electronic
water pump to the turbos. gave me the car back only to my disgust
that after 2 days came up with same fault as before.

car is back with bmw, now waiting for water tank to arrive from
germany.

I'll bite.... Is it a 2015? I didn't think they made a 2014.

Are you stock or tuned?

cooler for the turbos. there have been six such problems world
wide.

For some very strange reason the F80 which was launched and sold in 2014 is known as MY15 in the US, I think they do that with all cars.
