2013 BMW 528XI Engine Problems

“I am having the same drivetrain issues that other earlier model Bmw's between 2011 to 2015 that was recalled. My oil pump chain module and timing chain module needs replacing. Vehicle was stationary for about a month off and on. I started my car and drivetrain malfunction appeared on dash. I've driven car for 3,000 miles since purchasing and it just came on.”

“A catastrophic problem occurred with my Bmw, a 2013 528i model, while I was driving on a busy expressway. A warning message indicated the oil pressure was low. As I attempted to navigate to the shoulder, another message stated there was a drive-train malfunction. The car proceeded to decelerate,.shut down and the engine completely fail.”

“My car stopped running while I was on the road (crossing over rt 29 in malvern, pa). A message on the screen in my car said drivetrain malfunction. After the mechanic looked at it he said the timing chain broke and the whole engine needs to be replaced. This car doesn't even have 100k miles on it.”

“Bmw engine n20b20 known timing chain issue. The car in question is 2013 Bmw 528i xdrive, 4 cyl. Turbo engine, automatic, all wheel drive, sedan. I was at work and started driving home, got out on the highway, hit 65 MPH and immediately notified by the instrument display that there is powertrain issue and to pull over and call service. I had to tow the car home and then again to the service since it would not start. I had 77130 miles on the car at the moment. …”

“We bought a 2013 Bmw 528XI new. After approximately 120k miles, oil pressure light came on. We put oil in and it was fine for a week. Then the light came on again so we had it towed. The oil was replaced and a new oil level and temp sensor added. After a couple days the light and drive train failure light came on. Had it towed to the dealer and they found shards of metal in the oil filer. Luckly, my wife was able to maneuver the car off the highway without incident.”
