Consumer Description
INTAKE AND EXHAUST VALVE SEALS WENT BAD. WHICH THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR N63 ENGINES. BMW HAS A BULLETIN FOR IT, BUT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL NOT HONOR THAT BECAUSE IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM. AND BMW WON'T HONOR IT CAUSE THEY WON'T DO A RECALL ON IT EITHER. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, IT CONSUMES OIL AND YOU HAVE BLUE SMOKE GOING OUT YOUR TAILPIPE. I'VE BEEN GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH EXTENDED WARRANTY, BMW DEALER, AND BMW CORPORATION. THEY WANT ME TO PAY OVER $9000 TO FIX THIS, CAUSE YOU HAVE TO PULL THE MOTOR OUT. AND THIS GONNA GET WORSE IF YOU GONNA KEEP DRIVING IT
