Oil pressure problems and metal shavings in engine oil in BMW 3 Series Diesel (2013) after 87999km

Hi, I have a problem with my BMW 3 Series (diesel, 2013) and was wondering if anyone is familiar with it. After 87999km on the clock, the oil light is illuminated, metal shavings can be seen in the oil and the warning light on the speedometer is also illuminated. I suspect that the engine oil pressure is too low. Have you ever had this problem and what was the result of the repair in the workshop? Unfortunately, I've had bad luck in the past and would be happy to hear any experiences and tips. Many thanks in advance!

Hello, I have a BMW 316d (built in 2010). I had a similar problem to yours. I also had the oil light on and metal shavings in the oil. These were serious signs that the oil pump was failing, causing low engine oil pressure. Normally this means that you have engine damage, it was the same with me. But maybe you're lucky and it's something else. If I were you, I wouldn't start the engine again!

Hey, thanks for your answer. That's exactly what I'm afraid of with my 3 Series. Do you remember what you paid for the repair? I would really appreciate more information.

Hey, sure, I still remember the costs. The garage had organized a used engine for me at the time and then installed it in the vehicle straight away. But the whole thing cost me just under 5000 euros, including the engine and the labor.

Hello, oh ok that is of course a lot of money that I would have to invest if it turns out to be engine damage. But I'll have the vehicle taken to the garage for a closer look. Thanks for the information!

Hello Paul, unfortunately I don't understand exactly what you mean. Can you explain in more detail exactly what you mean or what your problem is?

Take out a warranty on your car which covers the part your concerned about, maybe have to wait a couple weeks minimum before making a claim but saves you forking out…. Beat the system and save yourself cash
