Recently, the number of complaints about oil burning in BMW has also increased significantly recently, which has attracted the attention of many car owners and netizens In March, the BMW X3 has become the "first" brother in the complaint list, and the BMW 5 series is the second in the complaint list The owner complained that the main faults were engine oil burning and the lack of "OTA remote upgrade" and voice control function, which were inconsistent with the configuration information in the owner's manual.
According to the owner of the complaint, he bought a BMW 530Li vehicle in August 2021. After driving to 18000 kilometers, he went to the corresponding 4S store to check the engine on March 14, 2022 and found that the spark plugs of cylinders 1, 2, 3 and 4 burned engine oil. When he opened the valve cover, he found that there was corresponding carbon deposit in the cylinder body.
*In addition, the maintenance manual suggested that the oil filling amount should be 5.25l, but the BMW 4S store actually added 5.75l oil according to the manufacturer's technical guidance. * BMW knows that adding more oil will lead to the possibility of engine or three-way catalyst damage and GPF blockage, regardless of the interests of the owner.
In addition, some time ago, BMW owners issued a joint report letter to report the problem of oil burning of BMW models:
The models involved include BMW 3201i, BMW 325i, BMW 330li, 525I, 530Li, and all b48tu engine models: b48b20a, b48b20b, b48b20c, b48b20d.
BMW hasn't responded to this matter yet, so it will keep an eye on it in the future.
