Not good at all. I would never change followers without a new cam on any engine.

Its what they did on mine. Absoltue waste, it had to go back & be done again, that time fully.

Lee, need to know if miracles do happen, are the cams ready?

[J2LTB]

Is gettin the cams re profiled an option ?

[AlexGTT]

I would post the link but im not sure people would understand

The cams and the followers come with a hardened layer to protect against wear!
My original oil pump lost pressure and stopped supplying the correct amount of oil to the cams and followers subsequently wearing the hardened layer off of the followers and flattening them!with new followers in the cam should really have been changed aswell.so the product of worn cams is the hardened surface on the followers has worn whats left of the surface of the cams!now the cams no longer hardened start to attack the new followers resulting in everything bent fucked in 5000 miles of moderate diving!!

I have a contingency plan but thats not happening till January
Oh well it should have been spotted in the first place my impression is they were fitted fingers crossed hoping they wouldn't go wrong as bmw don't want 6+ cars sitting outside waiting on cams!!!what do they say about best laid plans???

FUCK UP!!!!

Court action then a small claims court for costs

That's one costly way I suppose although a group Court action might have more Oomph, even if it's only a couple of owners with identical problems and following dilemma.
I'm in awe of Billy's patience :thumbs:

Sorry to hear that mate any alternative action plans to avoid 18 month + waiting time ?

I reckon E46 Engine with Shrick Cams and followers would make nearly the same power as a CSL anyway and last longer.

Elms have just informed me my cams indeed are dead.park mine next to billies and wait to see who's next in line!!

Cheers elms!bet these cams were dead last time i had the top built!!!

You must be able to find a way round waiting for Elms, if things are getting that bad I might give up having mine on warranty.

[terraphantm]

So what's actually happening to all your cams? Are they pitting or something? Seems odd to have so many failures on such a small production run of cars

[MCSL]

Everyone would scream "HEATHEN, THOU WILST DEVALUE THY BADGE LEST YE REPENT THY CAMSINS" and the world would explode.

:hahaha:

[Chappers]

What would happen if you put standard M3 cams in the CSL whilst you wait for the CSL cams to be made?
