what to do with a non runner

[garmil]

Hi all

Do you guys know of places that buy BMWs that have an error code? A 2012 model that's just become a pain basically.

I should mention that it runs but throws up an error code about low oil pressure.

Thanks

Sorry bud. N20 noted for issues. You may run a huge loss getting rid of it as a non runner but try BMW scrapyards that will strip and sell the parts of the vehicle like Designa Rides etc.

those N20 motors are not Bmw's finest , a few people seem to want to get out of owning cars with those engines. a lot of these cars standing at workshops with owners not wanting to spend anymore on repairs.

If have an N20 in my 125i. Thankfully the only issue was turbo seals and BMW replaced the timing chain while it was open.
