The service agent estimated 5 months for a new engine. I have courtesy rental cars until the engine arrives from Germany and they install it.

Is there any news on the "new" engine? I love the car and I would like to keep it if the engine issues have been fixed.

Hey there!

I paid 20% for theremanufactured engine for my 2011 x5 50i and had to wait for 5months. After the engine installed the car is been running great. Better throttle response and improved performance. I had one misfire because of dinan software so i had to delete and reinstall it again. No more misfire and having a blast. U will still need to add 1 quart of oil every 750 miles which never solved the oil consumption. I recommend to change oil every 4 to 5k.
