Exclamation BMW Might Replace Your V8 For Free

I suspected this was coming. Why BMW can not seem to get these engines and their engines and the respective cooling thereof correct, is beyond me... 🤔

Quote:
The N63 issue has been settled, but there are plenty of conditions.

BMW started things called the N63 Customer Loyalty Offer and the N63 Customer Appreciation Program way back in 2014. These came about as a result of N63 twin-turbo V8 engines (the first in the world with a "hot vee" turbocharger setup to be fitted to a production car) that used too much oil.

There were many bulletins and offers surrounding this fiasco, but the end result last we heard was a class-action lawsuit against the automaker. It has grown considerably since then, with the apparent lack of insulation from the hot turbos causing the excessive oil consumption. Whatever the reason, BMW has offered a settlement and it has received preliminary approval.
