BMW 7 Series owners have reported 4 problems related to manifold/header/muffler/tail pipe (under the engine and engine cooling category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
BMW 750 I xdrive 2011 --excessive engine oil consumption and or burning. The design of the valve stem seals is a major safety problem due to excessive oil consumption. The safety concerns are the following: 1) fire hazard. 2) property damage and personal injury 3) polluting the environment with excessive smoke 4) additional cost burden for consumers every time the vehicle is stationary and at the point of acceleration, the is a tremendous amount of smoke that is coming out of the tail pipe. The oil measure turn to low after just 2 weeks of adding oil to the engine. For the following reasons, BMW should be held accountable and be forced to repair the engineering design flaws in their engine that burn excessive amount of oil in a short amount of time. Consumer should not have to carry the cost burden of repairing this design flaws. As an owner, I am very disappointed in BMW.

Tl- the contact owns a 2005 BMW 7 Series. The contact stated that he was unable to pass emissions because the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and was told that the intake valves on the auxiliary pump leaked oil into the manifold and caused the vehicle to release smoke and emissions. The failure mileage was 99,500 and the current mileage was 101,100. Kmj.

I am seeking assistance in the matter of having a defective engine in my 2006 750i BMW. We have had this vehicle since oct. 2008 and we have kept scheduled maintenance on it as prescribed. Recently after taken the car to the shop for light smoke coming out of the tail pipe it was discovered that our engine was possibly bad and needed to be replaced. That first we were told that BMW would most likely cover parts if we were to have the engine broke down to see exactly what the problem was. Which we agree to; before the engine was broke down and the cause was known we were told that regardless of what was wrong with the engine they were not going to help. We continued with the break down to discover that the engine is in fact bad and it is "very unusual" for the engine to be in the shape it was in. Mind you the engine only has 59000 miles on it and was under warranty up unto 50000 miles. The 2011 BMW they say will run up 300000 miles the average BMW engine will run over 200000 mile and my only went up to 59000 mile which was time of determining that the engine was bad. That isn't even a quarter of what BMW engines will do, so it is clear that the engine is one out of the few that come off the line with major defects. I would like BMW to take responsibly for their defected engine and pay to have it replaced. As of now my family and I are hadn't to come out of pocket for around $29,000. 00 for a new engine because BMW will not assist us in this matter. Attached are the reading and measurement that the mechanic took and declared the engine to be bad. Further more we had never had any problems with our car until after getting and oil change at BMW of nashville where the car is still currently in the shop.

Problem with engine oil consumption; on April 2007 -mileage 8936 warning -low oil-ad 1. 5q. On 29 may 2007-warn low oil- ad 1. 5q oil. On Aug 2007-warn low oil-ad 1. 5 q oil on Dec 2007-warn low oil-added 2. 5 q oil sept 30 2008-warn low oil-added 1 q oil at loc dealership. This is not a normal oil consumption of the high end vehicle BMW series 7 or any other high end vehicle. So far I have not been given a reasonable explanation. Dealer ship (peake BMW) is advising that no oil leaks noted and oil not coming out trough the tail pipe ? so what is going on? can someone at bwm recognize and acknowledge this problem or do I have to go back and contact BMW in germany and ask for their assistance. I have had and still do ( mb s500 ,BMW 535i etc. ) and never had any problem like this. Have other vehicles and trucks and never had to add any oil in between the services. This is embarrassing,driving $85k vehicle and have to stop at the gas station to fill up some oil ???.
