Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The n63 engine made by Bmw generates too much heat which has caused mine as well as countless others to consume far too much oil over years of usage. The engine's heat has also caused nearly all gaskets and o-rings to become warped and leak oil as well. Currently, I put in over 1 quart of premium 5w30 oil every 8-10 days which is far too much. This engine needs to be looked into; I'm happy to participate in first-hand accounting of results of this failed engineering marvel.”
NHTSA complaint #11112836, filed 2018-07, 89,000 miles“Engine is burning and leaking oil excessively. N63 engine requires 2-quarts of premium oil every month, or approximately 1200-1400 miles driven. Area Bmw repair shops recommend replacement of engine which has 118,000 miles.”
