Consumer Description

The engine oil pump has failed. The part is available for inspection. The failed oil pump causes the engine to blow up, leaving oil and coolant behind on the road as hazards and causing our vehicle violently spin out on the road. The problem has been reproduced multiple times and claimed by bmw dealerships to be faulty on multiple occasions. Upon further research, it has affected 80% of the 2019 and 2020 g series chassis vehicles with the B58tu engine. BMW has a known problem of failed oil pump. As has my own 2020 bmw m340i. The only warnings we had were the oil not measuring through the interior display, the only way to check it no dip stick, not completing or stopping at 21% with failed measurement. It has first appeared for me at 20k miles, for others as early as 5k miles. The vehicle has not been inspected by police or insurance other than the dealer and local independent shop.
