I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN JUNE OF 2019. I RECEIVED A CARFAX REPORT BEFORE THE PURCHASE. THE CAR WAS VERY CLEAN INSIDE AND OUTSIDE. I WAS PLEASED WITH TH CAR UNTIL IT STARTED SMOKING EVERY TIME THE ENGINE GOT WARM. I HAD TO KEEP ADDING OIL ALMOST EVERY TWO TO THREE DAYS. EVERY TIME I STOPPED, FOR TRAFFIC , RED LIGHT OR STARTED FROM A STOP POSITION BLUE SMOKE WOULD COME FROM EXHAUST AND THERE IS A HORRIBLE SMELL OF BURNT OIL AND ANTIFREEZE. MY CAR PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORST UNTIL WHITE SMOKE STEAM WOULD COME FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND EVERY TIME I DROV E SHORT DISTANCES I WOULD HAVE TO ADD ENGINE COOLANT. BEFORE THIS HAPPENED, I HAD TO HAVE AN OIL CHANGED AND A CHECKUP AT THE BMW DEALERSHIP IN APRIL,(THE CAR WAS SMOKING AND SMELLING LIKE ENGINE COOLANT. I WAS INFORMED THEN THAT THERE HAD BEEN AN LAWSUIT AGAINST BMW FOR NOT ADVISING THE OWNERS OF CERTAIN MODELS AND ENGINES WOULD HAVE THE ABOVE MENTIONED PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD IF I HAD BROUGHT MY CAR IN BEFORE FEB. 2020, I WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE BENEFITS ENTITLED TO OWNERS OF THIS ENGINE. BUT BECAUSE I DIDN'T BRING MY CAR IN, TIME HAD EXPIRED. I ALSO LEARNED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY CAR WHICH PARTS HAD TO BE ORDERED FOR AND WERE LATER ADDED TO MY VEHICLE BY THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED ABOUT THE LAWSUIT RELATING TO THE ENGINE PROBLEMS BY THE SELLING SHEA USED CARS, FORMALLY PATSY LOU, MEGA LOT OR GRAND BLANC MOTORSPORTS (BMW DEALERSHIP) THAT INFORMED IN APRIL ABOUT THE LAWSUIT. IF I HAD BEEN NOTIFIED REGARDING MY CAR I WOULD RESPONDED APPROPRIATELY. NOW TO PROPERLY FIX MY CAR I NEED $15,227.38 . I AM OF COURSE NOW PAYING FOR A CAR THAT I CAN'T ENJOY BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUED. ANY AND ALL HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

I PURCHASED THE 2010 BMW 750 LI IN OCT 2017. IN APRIL 2018, I BEGAN TO HAVE ISSUES AND MESSAGES CONSTANTLY POPPED UP CONCERNING ENGINE TEMP DRIVE MODERATELY AND DRIVETRAIN MALFUNCTION. I KEPT THE CAR'S MAINTENANCE UP, HOWEVER, EVEN A WEEK AFTER AN OIL & FILTER CHANGE, I'D GET THE LOW OIL WARNINGS & NEEDED TO ADD OIL CONSTANTLY. OIL WAS LEAKING BAD. THE CAR WOULD GET UP TO 35-40 MPH (BETWEEN 1 & 2 RPM) & START SHAKING OR WOULDN'T SHIFT OVER. I'D HAVE TO PRESS ACCELERATOR DOWN TO ACCELERATE TO ATLEAST 70 MPH SO THE SHAKING & VIBRATION COULD STOP. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A BMW REPAIR SHOP IN 08/28/2018. IGNITION COILS, SPARK PLUGS, OIL CHANGE, FILTERS, ALL WERE REPLACED. BRAKE FLUID WAS FLUSHED AS WELL. THE OIL ISSUE NEVER STOPPED. AFTER MONTHS OF ADDING OIL EVERY FEW DAYS, THE CAR WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE BMW SHOP (APRIL 2019). AT THAT POINT, I WAS TOLD TO TAKE TO THE BMW REPAIR SHOP DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED & THEY PERFORMED THE N63 ENGINE RECALL REPAIRS IN MAY 2019. THE SMOKING SUBSIDED, BUT IN JULY 2019, THE CAR WAS BACK IN BMW'S REPAIR SHOP BECAUSE IT HAD NOW GOTTEN THE SAME READINGS BUT IT HAD ALSO BEGUN TO SMOKE BADLY, UPON STARTING, STOPPING AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS. ALONG WITH ENGINE TEMP LIGHTS, AND DRIVETRAIN MALFUNCTION. THE CAR WAS REPAIRED AGAIN. ENGINE TEMP LIGHT CAME ON EVERY DAY AS SOON AS I CRUNK THE CAR. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME IT WOULD GO OFF IN JULY 2019, AFTER THE REPAIRS. DECEMBER 2019, ENGINE TEMP LIGHT IS STILL ON. AGAIN, SEVERAL LIGHTS ARE NOW ON. DRIVETRAIN MALFUNCTION ALSO AND THE CAR IS NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY, AS BEFORE. IT'S VIBRATING AT 35 MPH. BECAUSE IT'S THE HOLIDAYS, THE BMW DEALERSHIP AND SERVICE DEPARTMENT ARE CLOSED. FIRST THING TOMORROW, I WILL BE BACK THERE. I HAVE TO WORK AND AFRAID THAT THE CAR WILL EVENTUALLY GIVE OUT ON ME. IT'S ALL I HAVE. I'M BASICALLY WORKING TO FIX THE CAR!

JUST HAD A NEW FACTORY ENGINE PUT IN MY 2010 BMW 750LI UNDER A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, IN AUGUST 2019. DECEMBER 2019 WIFE WAS DRIVING CAR TO GROCERY STORE AND ENGINE SUDDENLY STARTED BUCKING AND SMELL OF GAS WAS OVERWHELMING. SHE WAS IN TRAFFIC AT THE TIME AND COULD NOT MAINTAIN PROPER SPEED ON THE 50MPH HIGHWAY AND LOST TOTAL POWER. SHE NURSED CAR INTO A NEARBY PARKING LOT. IT WAS SNOWING OUT AND HAD TO WAIT FOR A TOW TRUCK FOR AN HOUR IN FREEZING TEMPERATURES. ASIDE FROM THE OVERWHELMING FUEL SMELL, ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENT BY NOT BEING ABLE TO MAINTAIN PROPER SPEED, SHE WAS WAITING IN FREEZING TEMPERATURES FOR TOW TRUCK. THIS, I FOUND OUT, IS A VERY BIG PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS. ITS WAS A FUEL INJECTOR THAT CAUSED THE ISSUE. THIS IS TRUELY A SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE PUBLIC. AND AN EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE FIX. BMW HAS MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE FUEL INJECTORS, BUT SEEM TO IGNORE THE ISSUE AND PROFIT HEAVILY FROM THE CUSTOMERS LOSS. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE.
