Two problems related to engine burning oil have been reported for the 2007 BMW X5. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The vehicle has excessive oil consumption due to faulty valves and seals, the buildup causes smoke to escape through the hood, and enters the cabin of the vehicle, thus causes dizziness, and a possible fire hazard. BMW needs to fix the issue as they are aware of it, as it is a common problem on the 4. 8!.
I have had several issues with this recall, I only had the car for 1. 5 years and this is the third recall! my current main concern is there is a burning gas like oil odor in my car. I received a recall notice saying remedy is unavailable! this is unacceptable my life and my children life is in danger. BMW should provide an immediate resolution!! when I start the car I smell burning smell and sometimes see smoke come from hood of car. I took my car to BMW 2 months ago for service and was told all was well with my car. Two other recalls were corrected however, I still have the same gas odor which was due to another recall dealing with the fuel tank. This is a serious safety hazard driving this car, and its an insult for BMW to send a letter stating the issue but state there is no remedy when the recall consequences can cause a fire! and you telling me there is no immediate remedy!! please investigate this, I will also be contacting BMW customer relations in regards to this matter.
