Consumer Description
I am unable to read the oil level in my 2020 M340i. Upon checking the oil pressure, the oil pressure goes above 45psi which is the cutoff for the measurement check. Under heavy acceleration, the oil pressure will go over 90psi. My car needs the oil pump to be replaced. The plastic ring surrounding the oil pump for variable oil pressure will crack and lead to a high oil pressure scenario, eventually leading to catastrophic engine damage. BMW has refused to acknowledge this even though they installed an updated all-metal oil pump in 2021 and newer M340i.
