Engine oil leaking onto the road. Oil leaking from oil pan and oil filter housing dripping down onto my garage floor. BMW said due to aged and its my responsibility to repair them. But it has only 76k miles and shouldn't be leaking any dangerous oil onto to public roads. This is just poor quality coming from BMW and they are passing on the expensive repair costs onto me.

While looking up the recall for the takata recall, I noticed there was an open recall on my car for the vanos housing bolts, I had not received a notice in the mail even though I had updated my account with BMW at first notice of the tanaka recall. I had my car serviced for the vano housing repair which they removed the valve cover to inspect the bolts and found a broken bolt on the vanos housing and replaced the exhaust, removed and inspected the oil pan to remove the fragments. I paid for an oil change that day. Less than 7300 miles and 2 quarts of oil later I was experiencing an oil leak that was caused by an improperly seated valve cover not seating to the cylinder head. They offered to repair a broken cylinder head bolt for $500 I declined as my mechanic said it didn't make sense and they should repair a bolt if they are already in there. I'd also like to note that the recall listed the repair was to take 4 hours but they had my car 3 days. No loaner was given until the end of the 2nd day. They are now refusing to reimburse me for the valve cover $1000 repair. I noticed online that several dealers replaced the valve cover as a part of this service to avoid this problem, though bert smith BMW st. Petersburg, FL did not. I also have 2 other open recalls on my car that have been listed as a remedy not available since December 2017.

I purchased the vehicle back in 08/2014 from Mazda heritage in baltimore, MD. The dealership stated that the vehicle was certified. After I drove the vehicle off the lot, maybe a week later the check engine light came on. Anytime I accelerated the car would slow down and sputter. I purchased an extended warranty and took the vehicle to a BMW dealer to have it looked over. The repair guy stated that their was a problem with the oil head gasket. It was fixed and I believed that the problem was fixed. I'm having the same issue now and I took it to BMW again, and now I have a oil pan leak. I'm a single parent and do not feel safe in the vehicle while I am transporting myself and two children. I just don't believe that after only one year that I should have issues like this. Please somebody help me in this situation.

The contact owns a 2011 BMW 328i. Approximately one year ago, the vehicle was repaired per a recall pertaining to the engine and engine cooling. Recently, the contact noticed a burning odor while driving at any speed. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who performed the recall remedy. The technician was unable to diagnose the failure and stated that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. The failure recurred, with light smoke emitting from the hood without warning. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed that there was an oil leak on the engine gasket. The engine gasket was cleaned. The dealer explained that the oil leaked on a panel inside the engine compartment. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and ruled that the failure was a maintenance issue that needed to be remedied. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 30,751.

Oil filter housing leak. Oil and grime built up on engine from leak through time. Could catch fire. BMW replaced for $600+. Indicated not damaged - typical of that part. New model years have different part to avoid failure and leak. This should be covered as it's a defective part rather than costing the consumer over $600!.
