Ok, so I just joined yesterday, so what's up?
My 09 750li has been quite the experience. Here is a run-down:
April 2014 - Purchased, in love with car! I rarely go above 4000 rpm... but it runs 110mph at 2800rmp.... awesome!
May 2014 - wife calls, drivetrain malfunction, very rough idle... chugging, won't reset... Crap! towed to a Euro Car repair shop? ..... Ha Ha...that was a joke, they were clueless! Towed to Classic BMW, Plano TX.
$6850.00 repair....replaced software, replaced bank one fuel injectors, then bank two since the problem was not solved.... Yes, "Cylinder 6", Crankcase vent hose, faulty thermostat..vanos solenoid failed... luckily my extended warranty provider covered $5500.00 "Carchex Luxury is awesome"
June 2014 - Drivetrain Malfunction - Guess what" Cylinder 6... replaced coil and spark plug. (Today, after reading posts/... I am thinking Really?) $352.00
August 2014 - Drivetrain Malfunction again. They dropped the motor and ran a "DeCarbon" scrubbing of air intake $2685.00, noticed radiator leak, replace radiator. Guess what? Problem is still there, this is 8/2014? BMW knows the problem at this point.... N63 CCP has got to be in the works.
So, they replace bank head #2, they said it was leaking around an injector.
$4250.... thank God for the Carchex, they covered $4500.00 of the total bill of $7472.0
August 2014 - April 2016, scared of the car, never trust it, it hesitates and jumps when trying to accelerate from 1700rpm to 2200rpm.... will give drivetrain malfunction at time. I pull over turn it off and restart and the error goes away. I drive in manual mode and don't have this problem unless I get around 4000RPM then I can get a drivetrain malfunction error. I drive it like an old 4 cylinder Dodge Colt that I had back in 1979. I love the comfort of this car but it sits in the garage most days and we take my wife's Toyota SUV.
April, 2016 - have a CCP appointment for next Tuesday. We are considering going after BMW, depending on how they handle this next week. I have seen the class action lawsuits, I'm not that guy but yikes! More later....
