Engine Burning Oil Problems of BMW X5

While driving home from work, the engine light came on and reduced speed on i95 interstate 95south in chicago. I have spend over $18,000 on engine issue and high consumption of oil is also a major issue. There is a severe engine issue that may lead to an auto accident while driving. Once the engine reduce power it's very difficult to pull the truck over to safety. The whole X5 5. 0i needs to be recalled.

Excessive oil consumption under normal driving conditions.

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!.

The engine stutters often (every drive), and once in a while produces thick white smoke for a second or two when accelerating. The engine also suffers from high oil consumption (I have to add a quart of engine oil every 200 miltes). I've also had to replace the spark plugs twice in the last 3 years because they are fouled with oil and sooth and the engine misfires. Dealer is stating the issue is related to s63 engine valve stem seals, and recommending that these be replaced, but the work will cost $7000 and isn't covered under warranty! this is clearly a valve stem seal design defect or initial production/installation defect dealer also claims this is common on e70 models.

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.

May 10, 2017 we purchased a 2010 BMW X5 with approx 70kmiles from east providence auto for $16,000. Two days later we brought the vehicle back because the windshield wiper fluid leaked onto the driver side floor, the sunroof wouldn't close and a burning oil smell was coming from the inside of the vehicle. After inspecting, the mechanic said the hose from the windshield wiper tank was needed replacement, he unjammed the sunroof and added 2 quarts of oil; however, he couldn't fix anything. May 22 we returned b/c the oil light was on and the burning oil smell still existed. But the garage was locked. The salesman said we would have to come back. May 24 we returned after blue smoke was coming from the exhaust. The mechanic said the owner was in portugal for two weeks and he couldn't work on the vehicle without permission. After returning and calling many times over the next month we met with the owner who said his mechanic left, we would have to wait. July 3 we had the vehicle independently inspected (see attached report). He inspected the engine and drained the oil. He recommended the engine be removed for further diagnosis and if not resolved the engine will eventually need to be replaced. After returning to ep auto the owner said the 30 day warranty was up so we filed a complaint with the rhode island dealers license and regulations office (complaint number am-1702213). We are awaiting a response from the hearing board. The case manager advised that it's impossible to force ep auto to take the vehicle back because we have to prove the issues are pre-existing and she is anticipating the hearing board will not rule in our favor. At this point we are extremely reluctant to drive the vehicle due to the safety concerns. I recently received a recall notice from you alleging defective airbags made by takata. Please feel free to contact me. Thank you for your help.

Since the n63 engine technical update (aka n63 customer care package) was performed on our 2011 X5, we noticed an increase in engine oil consumption evidenced by the onboard system alerting us to low engine oil condition requiring adding engine oil. In addition to this symptom the onboard system is alerting low coolant fluid and requiring coolant fluid top off. Prior to this n63 technical update performed on our X5, the vehicle did not require engine oil or coolant fluid top off as it does now and went even as far as between maintenance cycle without requiring oil or coolant top off. We have communicated this peculiar level of consumption on a number of occasions to the service advisor at the onset of the symptom and while during the warranty coverage period and we were told that this consumption by the n63 engine is normal and is to be expected and to top it off when low and as required. As such in its current state we are not confident with driving our X5 on long distance like a road trip from la to sf which we have enjoyed - the n63 is extremely needy for fluids between relatively short mileage intervals.
