I wrote to BMW Canada about this Campaign/TSB but they said there is nothing outstanding on my car. Seems like this is just in the US so far but i'm sure its coming up north soon. I hope!! |

I ran a search for service or warranty campaigns on the BMWNA site and nothing showed up for my VIN - corresponding to the S63 engine in a 2011 X5M.

Guys, I have received my car back after nearly 2 weeks and I the burnt oil smell inside the cabin got worse. Don't know if they even test drove the vehicle before they send it back to me. Also, the air pressure on my front passenger tire was only at 25 psi.
It will be going back soon. I have an effectively worse car than when I dropped it off. This is BMW of Fairfax in VA. |

Not sure what we will do with ours. Practically everything is being replaced.

I would like to get some opinions form the group. My car is currently in the shop for an unrelated issue now and the adviser asked if i would like to keep it there to get the recalls done.
I am wondering should I keep it there or wait a month or two before they go in and check the recall items. Does it matter a couple a months from now with more miles. Also my warranty is up in 200 miles. Is there any benefit with them doing this work while the car is still under warranty? |

this caused the returning oil to seep out the seal onto the head, pool up and run to the back out of a drip hole on to the exhaust. Also the Vacumm pump seal could be gone. I fixed both. lol! |

What kind of BMW swag did you get?
I got a little teddy bear wearing a sweater with a BMW roundel on it and an 8 gig flash drive shaped like the key fob. The flash drive is cool, but you need to use a jumper USB cable with it.

so according to this post it is a REALLY bad idea to buy a used n63 engine car ?
Unless it's a certified or very slightly used one,right? I'm currently looking for a 5gt, the 550gt one. looks like a really bad idea. |

Not necessarily... sounds like they fix it for you even if it's out of warranty, give you a loaner while they fix it, so what's the problem?

Stopped at the stealer today to have them top off my oil. My car seems to burn a quart every 2-3K miles. After expressing my concern over how much oil this engine eats I asked about the service bulletin......I got a blank stare then the SA went over to a computer and said nothing was popping up. I pulled the SB number off this thread and gave it to them. The SA came back and had me schedule an appointment for later this month.
Didn't mention anything about the gift or loaner or equal or higher class. |

Anyone on the service side has access to it (cant post it here due to access terms and conditions) Just quote "SIB 11 16 14" (Timing Chain) "SIB 11 06 14" (N63 Customer care package) "SIB 61 30 14" (Battery change) If he cant find it get his boss. Its right there on their regular access system

The local dealership service department is a little small for the size of the dealership. Took 10 days to get a battery in a previous 328... One time they told me they couldn't help with a flat tire despite my purchase of the wheel and tire package. Just want to be ready to help them as best I can because I know I will have to

I took mine in today. My SA told me the battery swap issue was going to be at EVERY oil change. Has anyone else heard this? Even if they fix the engine, no way am I spending that on maintenance at every service. Crazy.

You dont have to change it when out of warranty unless you are having problems. A good charge from a Ctek charger every now and then will prevent most battery issues. They are cheap, easy to get (Amazon ect) and used by BMW dealers worldwide.
