Really can't stand this engine and bmws terrible service.
N63 car has 115k miles
Back story- Car would burn oil every 100 miles. Car would burn coolant everywhere 1000 miles. Right before the recall car started leaking coolant under the car. Also I would smell coolant from the vents.
1/2019- Car went into BMW for MAJOR service. New valve seals, oil actuators, turbos, rear oil/coolant cover were installed. Out of pocket I paid to do a full cooling overhaul. All the coolant lines on top, on the bottom, the Y line, water pump, AUX water pump, thermostat, lower temperature sensor, coolant reservoir, coolant sensor were all replaced. Also plugs, vanos solenoids, PCV system were overhauled.
2/2019- I get the car back after 4 weeks. One hour after pickup I get a low coolant error and still smell coolant from vents. I check the tank low coolant add it...and now light stays on. I drop the car off again and a week later get another bill for $1k. They say the reservoir is leaking and is aftermarket. After much argument I pay just the part $205.
3/2019 - I drive the car 4 days and this morning check the tank and it's pretty much empty again. I still smell coolant from the vents the dealer says it's residual burning from before???
I called them up and they tell me bring it again. The problem is the dealer is a hour and half away because I've been with this SA for years. I'm also worried they can't fix it. This will be the third time it's going back. I'm also paranoid they might damage something else because I gave them a hard time when they tried to charge me $1k.
Please anyone have any suggestions
