Most BMW v8 engines including my own (n62,n63) have know major flaws with valve stem seals and timing chains. These issues cause catastrophic damage to engines and emissions system. It is a major safety issue as well as environmental issue. Vehicles end up immobile on the highway or emitting excesive smoke and fumes into the atmosphere. BMW has had a class action lawsuit over this I dont believe thats enough. These vehicles need to be repaired.

The vehicle was driven approximately 10 minutes to the grocery store, parked, we shopped, 30 minutes later, drove back home, again about 10 minutes. Backed the vehicle into my driveway and shut the vehicle off. Groceries were unloaded while my girlfriend was trying to get my 18 month daughter out of the car seat. She did, came inside and approximately 2 minutes later a neighbor slammed on my door saying that the vehicle was smoking from the engine compartment. I went outside, tried to relieve the issue with an extinguisher, this did not remedy the situation. The smoke increased, I was afraid to pop the hood due to risk of oxygen exposure to what I assumed was in active fire. 911 was called, minutes later the entire compartment was fully engulfed with flames. Fire department arrived and extinguished the fire.

My car one day just turned on all lights inside including emergency break and the engine started smoking out. . . .

Took in for repair for water getting into car several times to dealer. Told they could not find a problem or where any water was getting into car. The last time I took it in, told that they cleaned water lines etc. So, should be ok. However, after driving it home & once a good rain came, it got wet inside the cabin/car again! they had the car, worked on it etc. However, when it was picked up again, told that the dash screen was damaged. But rather than blame it on the water getting into the car etc. ; they blamed it on something else which cost an unbelievable price to repair. Or they failed to admit their unbelievable car care and customer care/service. Subsequently, the lost of being able to see the car dash, screen etc. : all of the systems information: gas level, speed, lights, navigation etc. Has been lost.

The doors from inside don't open up when the car loses power you are locked inside also the engine smokes even when the gaskets and seals have been replaced. The car suspension in the rear is terrible also air bag light goes on and off even when the dealer ran diagnosis on the car car is parked.

Driving on the highway at speed limit of 55 mph and the drive train blew and when I was giving gas the car was not pulling . . . My cylinders are misfiring and the car shakes ridiculously bad.

Just had a new factory engine put in my 2010 BMW 750li under a class action lawsuit, in August 2019. December 2019 wife was driving car to grocery store and engine suddenly started bucking and smell of gas was overwhelming. She was in traffic at the time and could not maintain proper speed on the 50mph highway and lost total power. She nursed car into a nearby parking lot. It was snowing out and had to wait for a tow truck for an hour in freezing temperatures. Aside from the overwhelming fuel smell, almost caused accident by not being able to maintain proper speed, she was waiting in freezing temperatures for tow truck. This, I found out, is a very big problem with these cars. Its was a fuel injector that caused the issue. This is truely a safety hazard for the public. And an extremely expensive fix. BMW has many complaints about the fuel injectors, but seem to ignore the issue and profit heavily from the customers loss. Please do something about this issue.

It keeps saying the oil is too low even after driving for only one week. This is a constant issue.

In 2009, we bought this 2006 BMW 750li as pre-owned and certified warranty from BMW of tenafly, new jersey. We have registration address maintained in new jersey, and have not updated, even though we moved to chicago, illinois in summer of 2011. BMW issued 6 recalls for 7-series manufactured between 2005 and 2008. The recalls on manufacturer defects on electric and transmission in 2012 and 2013, and again in 2017. We missed all of the notices for these recalls. The vehicle was driven for less than 50,000 miles, from 2009 to 2019. The vehicle was inspected, and in good mechanical conditions, as well as body, since the vehicle has been garaged most of times. Since 2019, the vehicle has been in shops for repairs for electric and transmission and engine. It has been more than 3 years for our vehicle in the shops, and over $21,000 spent, there is no sign that the vehicle can be driven. Thus, we checked the online and found out the BMW recalls on this vehicle in 2012 and 2013. We called BMW customer relations & services, multiple times. BMW denied the recalls. We checked with the attorneys, including the ones who filed class action suits against BMW with billion dollars win for the customers on BMW defects. All said BMW shall honor their recalls. Further, the recalls will never be expired. Now BMW has declined taking calls, responding email, and recently shifting the failing repair to a BMW dealer. What shall we do? we have sent letter to their legal department. A shop who tried to repair over 2 years reported to us that this 2006 BMW 750li has a very bad reputation on electric and transmission. He said this is a common agreement among BMW dealers. Since BMW customer relations and services now shut us out, what department within BMW shall we go to. Shall we find an attorney for another class action suit, which occurred already?.

My 2006 BMW 750li was parked in my drive on Friday 7/5/2019 around 11:00 p. M. And remained there. On Sunday morning 7/7/2019 around 8:45 a. M. My car alarm sounded and when I look outside my car was on fire. The blaze from the firs not only burned up my BMW but also my damaged my SUV and damaged my other car. The car was parked for over 36 hours before the fire began.

My car suddenly stopped during driving in the middle of road. BMW(n63 engine) said that the crankshaft(rod bearing) of the my car had melted and attached inside. My engine was daed totally. Naver restart engine. I almost was in dead. Beacuase of suddenly stoped during driving. I really could not understand such a this breakdown. I thought this fault was also responsible for BMW. ​I was driving normal, and oil maintenance also good. . Read more...

Vehicle was parked with engine off and spontaneously combusted. ***I have video footage of the entire ordeal. ***** the car had been parked for roughly 4 hours prior to fire starting underneath the hood fo no apparent reason. Reached out to BMW and was told due to the severity of the damage their investigators could not determine the cause or origin of the fir at the time of the inspection. The national engineering group observed thermal damage isolated to the engine compartment with greater consumption towards the front. This occurred due to no fault of my own and BMW is denying responsibility and help.

My car has been at the BMW shop for four months. The purpose of me taking my car to the BMW shop was because my 2012 750li BMW had transmission problems. When I got there mr. Danny stated there is a recall on the engine and he say it will be fix. Four months later the manager mr. Nick call me and tell me I have to pay $ 9,600 for the parts and the labor work. Mr. Nick stated my car did not qualify and I had to pay 45% . I believe I was ripp off because I believe there was nothing wrong with my engine and the transmission was only $3,318 and now he charging me so much money. I am very disappointed only because when I took the car in March 2019 he could had gave me a price and not four months later. I told him why would he fix the engine if I didn't qualify for a free one and why not call me and tell me that I will be paying 45% out of my pocket. On top of that he has the nerve to call me on July 2019 and tell me the car has a new engine but all the old components was transfer to the new engine then he say that I need to pay extra because he did not fix the transmission. My complaint is why fix the engine if there was nothing wrong with it just to make money from the customer . If I took the car to the shop for transmission problems that would had cost me $3,318 now he wants $9,600 can some one please investigate this problem. Here is my VIN wbakc8c52cc435480 .

I bought my car at 88,000 miles and I have to put oil I it every 200 miles and the suspension deflate every time I cut the car off and sometimes while I'm driving on the freeway, making it a very rocky ride. . I took it back to the guy that sold it to me he says it has a engine recall but that's something he should have told me before I spent $14,650 for the vehicle.
