I PURCHASED THIS CAR SECOND-HAND AFTER NOTING THAT IT HAD AN EXTENSIVE DEALER SERVICE HISTORY AND HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. AFTER BUYING IT, IT BEGAN MISFIRING AND WAS DIAGNOSED WITH BAD FUEL INJECTORS, WHICH IS A NOTORIOUS PROBLEM FOR THE BMW N63 ENGINE. CERTAIN PRODUCTION DATES HAVE BEEN GIVEN AN EXTENDED LIMITED WARRANTY - MINE DID NOT. THE MANUFACTURER DID A "CUSTOMER CARE PACKAGE" VOLUNTARY RECALL, WHICH WAS PERFORMED ON MY CAR BUT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. CONSIDERING THE PROBLEM WITH MY CAR IS A KNOWN DEFECT, I THINK BMW SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND HAVE IT FIXED, AS IT PRESENTS A VALID SAFETY CONCERN.

THE ENGINE FAILED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WHILE ACCELERATING 28,000 MILE ON CAR. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO BMW AND FOR REPAIRS. THE MAIN PROBLEM WAS LEAKING FUEL INJECTORS FAILED WITH NO PRIOR WARNING.. THE TOTAL COST WAS APPROXIMATELY 5K NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. MY CAR HAD PREVIOUSLY HAD AN INSURANCE CLAIM AGAINST IT. PRIOR TO THE PURCHASE OF CAR I CALLED BMW AND WAS TOLD THE WARRANTY WAS STILL IN EFFECT. RECENTLY I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE ONLY AND WAS TOLD THAT IT REQUIRED SUBSTANTIAL WARRANTY REPAIRS. I TOLD THEM ABOUT OUR PREVIOUS WARRANTY DISPUTE WHERE THEY CLAIMED WARRANTY WAS VOIDED. THEY SAID THAT WAS IRRELEVANT FOR THESE REPAIRS AND THEY WOULD COVER IT UNDER N63 CUSTOMER CARE…

I PURCHASED VEHICLE IN SEP 2015. THE VERY 1ST WEEK DRIVING THE VEHICLE, I RECEIVED A TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION CODE ALMOST EVERY TIME I'M DRIVING AND PICKING UP SPEED WHICH ORIGINATED WHEN 1ST PURCHASED @ 57K MILES.
