N63 Oil-Consumption Litigation Update 2020

TXSTYLE · 01-15-2020, 11:41 AM

Just sharing this info...
Being the current owner of not one, but two BMW V8s, I still follow this story and any updates thereof. My current F0 had its engine replaced by BMW last Summer. So far so good. But I agree that a complete new engine design is long overdue.

The article (and the lawsuits) from what I am reading, do not apply to the N63 updated engines. N63U and TU, I think. I've had 2 of those and (knock wood) have not seen any unsual oil consumption. My '17 750 had the turbo line campaign done about 18 months into my lease but I had not seen any issues, so it I guess it was preventative.

That's good to hear. But I have read about newer V8s still burning oil excessively.

Currently have a 2019 750i taken delivery of February 26, 2019, built in November 2018. I would hope this still isn't a problem?

Ran an oil level test through the idrive last night oil seemed full.

2016, 36K miles and no oil usage. Oil was changed about 3500 miles ago and the check still shows full.
