I had a similar experience with my 2011 Z4 35i. I noticed a whining sound for a while and then when I was out for a drive, it became a very loud screech whenever I accelerated.
Getting these turbos replaced is like open heart surgery for the car. They have to drop the drive train and tranny and remove the engine.
My current Z4 has, after a few months of ownership, had a slight whine but it hasn't changed at all after 22K miles.
