NHTSA Complaint #11330954 — 2012 BMW 328I

I WAS CRUISING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY IDRIVE DISPLAYED 'LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING' AND 'DRIVETRAIN MALFUNCTION,' THE ENGINE WEIRD NOISES BEFORE IT SHUTDOWN AND WENT INTO NEUTRAL WHILE I WAS STILL AROUND TRAFFIC. I BARELY MADE IT A SAFE PLACE TO STOP AS I HAD TO COAST UP A HILL AND THEN TURN WITH WHATEVER MOMENTUM I HAD. THE STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKES WERE EXTREMELY HARD TO MOVE. I GOT MY CAR TOWED AND HAD A DIAGNOSTIC TEST FOR CODES SHOWN IN THE ATTACHED SCREENSHOT. HAD A CERTIFIED MECHANIC TAKE A LOOK AND WAS TOLD BY SEVERAL OTHER MECHANICS AS WELL THAT OIL STARVATION DESTROYED THE ENGINE AS A RESULT OF OIL PUMP FAILURE. NO SIGN OR PREMATURE WEAR WITH A VERY GENEROUS 5,000 MILE OIL & FILTER CHANGE INTERVAL AND BEEN IN THE HANDS OF BMW DEALERSHIPS FOR ALL IT'S LIFE. *TR
