Complaint Summary

ENGINE

Owner Narrative

THE N63 ENGINE MADE BY BMW GENERATES TOO MUCH HEAT WHICH HAS CAUSED MINE AS WELL AS COUNTLESS OTHERS TO CONSUME FAR TOO MUCH OIL OVER YEARS OF USAGE. THE ENGINE'S HEAT HAS ALSO CAUSED NEARLY ALL GASKETS AND O-RINGS TO BECOME WARPED AND LEAK OIL AS WELL. CURRENTLY, I PUT IN OVER 1 QUART OF PREMIUM 5W30 OIL EVERY 8-10 DAYS WHICH IS FAR TOO MUCH. THIS ENGINE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO; I'M HAPPY TO PARTICIPATE IN FIRST-HAND ACCOUNTING OF RESULTS OF THIS FAILED ENGINEERING MARVEL.
