This Problem Across All Years
Oil leaking from the valves cover onto the manifold and could cause a fire. I have replaced the valve cover on 11/03/2022 miles 107698 I pay 1493.21 for the repair. Last week 12/23/2025 the same thing started again. The oil is leaking again on manifold the car is smoking I am afraid to drive the car. I believe I should not be paying again for the same problem.

On 11/26/2025, I was driving on the NJ Parkway, Southbound, in the left lane. The Drivetrain Malfunctioned Warning Light came on and within second my car began loosing power. I did not notice any smells. My car stalled as I stopped along the left side of the roadway. I did not have time to maneuver safely to the right, onto the shoulder of the roadway. I maneuvered my vehicle to the left side of the road. My car was pinned against the guardrail to avoid being struck by southbound vehicles. The warning light disappeared. I attempted to restart my car, it sputtered a few time with black smoke coming out of the exhaust. I called 911 and State Police Responded to protect my vehicle from being struck. About an hour later, a tow truck responded and my vehicle was towed to the BMW Dealership, 500 Route 37, Eaton Town, NJ. I believe this catastrophic failure is connected to my vehicles EGR’s system. I had my vehicle serviced at Sterling BMW, Sterling, VA, in early 2025. During that visit I was told that my vehicle’s Auxiliary EGR cooler needed to be replaced. In October 2025, I took my vehicle to BMW of Westbrook, Maine, after I received a notice from BMW that they had extended the warranty on my Auxiliary EGR Cooler and it could be replaced if needed. I provided the Dealership with the information that Sterling BMW provided me about the need to have my Auxiliary EGR cooler replaced. Westbrook BMW examined my car and said there was nothing wrong the my Auxiliary EGR cooler. My vehicle will be looked at tomorrow by Eaton Town BMW. I suspect, I will be told the failure will be related to the EGR system.

My 2015 X5 decided it was not going to start. The vehicle was was looked at by a technician only to determine thay the cam sensor was not active and the car would not start. Moving forward with diagnostics the sensor was ruled out as good. Moving forward the valve cover was taken off for inspection only to find that the cam side bolt was hanging only by the wall of the valve cover. the gear is still in place it has nkt jumping timing but the end of the cam bolt is and has been broken off at the end inside the man approximately a half inch of the end of the bolt is in the hole. I stopped the technician from moving forward with anything else. I recently looked up for a recall but do not see any for the X5 but open recalls on other models. please let me know if this is a problem with the six cylinder turbo and it under sized cam bolt thank you for your help and time.

Vehicle stalled in the middle of the road when in drive mode displaying "Drivetrain Malfunction". Couldn't start the engine or shift the gear. Vehicle was at the dealership one week before the incident for 'Drivetrain Malfunction'. Fixed bad fuel injector and was tested. My safety and safety of others was at risk if it had happened at higher speed. Suspecting fuel pump failure. Vehicle is with the dealer and the component should be available for inspection.

When I research by your making model, it shows that there are multiple safety recalls for my vehicle. However, when I put in my license plate urban number, it says that there is zero, because I believe that that is some sort of redacted information that’s not true because my vehicle continues to have concerning safety issues and engine issues and the manufacture is refusing to repair. Also, there are suspension issues and under body, rest, and emissions issues that my state Ohio does not test I purchase this vehicle from Carvana and I believe they shipped the vehicle to a state that does not require a mission passing, because that would have been a flag for my vehicle, and it was very difficult for me to register my vehicle and my state due to a clouded title but it’s very hard for me to get information from dealerships because they don’t want to perform the work at cost as a service customer service, and then the seller, of course is hiding this information I need oversight, or some sort of enforcement how I can take my vehicle somewhere and have it inspected for safety, and then enforce the recalls and enforce the warranties that are on them because as I mentioned, I am not I’m getting out Bro blocked and I don’t wanna take accountability and responsibility. I did have a stop at a muffler shop and they said that my underbody is is the scripture is not installed properly, and there are things that are detach to avoid the emissions smoke and those are hidden from the seller I am a nervous Buyer. This is my first time having a vehicle such as this and I believe I have a lemonade and sweet lemon. How can I get it? Inspected it inspected.

My wife was driving with my kids on the highway here in San Diego. When the vehicle stalled and luckily she was near the shoulder and was able to pull over. We took it to the shop and they stated it was a fuel pump failure. I have never had a car do this it was crazy dangerous for my kids and my wife. I have read so many complaints on this and yet bmw will take no fault for this. Then they want to give me a repair bill of 17k because when these fuel pumps fail they destroy the whole fuel system that touches diesel needs to repaired. I am so upset this is crazy that’s this legal to produce a car like this and there is not a class action lawsuit.

BMW replaced my Egr in 8/22 under the recall and now 23 months later my intake manifold melted. Luckily I stopped the car when I smelled melting plastic and a fire didn’t start. Scary stuff. I guess the Ege recall didn’t fix the problem.

There is a service bulletin out for this vehicle to extend the warranty to 10 years, 120k miles on parts of the emission control system. The engine trouble light is lit. The vehicle was sold in Canada, but has been resold and transferred to the US. BMW has all the warranty / owner records updated, EXCEPT that the service bulletin for the diesel particulate sensor does NOT show up on the US BMW system! I called a Canadian dealer and had them check. The service bulletin pops right up! Called BMW and they said if I want BMW to fix it, I HAVE TO TAKE MY CAR -BACK TO A CANADIAN BMW DEALER-!!! That is RIDICULOUS!! IDENTICAL MODELS of these vehicles are sold on EACH SIDE OF THE BORDER!! Why doesn't the service bulletin APPLY no matter WHICH country they are sold in?

The contact owns a 2015 BMW X5. The contact stated while driving 50 MPH, the vehicle stalled with the drivetrain warning light was displayed. Due to the failure, the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, and it was discovered that the chain connected to the high-pressure fuel pump fractured and bent the valves. The mechanic diagnosed the vehicle with engine failure due to the malfunction. The mechanic notified the manufacturer of the failure and was informed that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 113,000.

There was a recall on my 2013 BMW in January 2022. In the recall letter it was mentioned that the they would notify me when the recall repairs were available. I called my local BMW service center in July 2022 to ask if the part was available. It was stated that the part was not available. The representative stated what was in the recall letter, which was. "this time. We will notify you with a follow-up letter as soon as we are able to perform this safety recall. What could happen? The engine’s Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Cooler could develop an internal leak. Cooling fluid could mix with typical diesel engine soot deposits. With high temperatures normally present in the EGR module, this might result in smoldering particles. In some cases, these particles could contact the engine intake manifold and create small holes due to melting. If this occurs, it would increase the risk of a fire. Your vehicle may be experiencing this issue if one or more of the following occurs; a reduction in engine power, a warning symbol indicating a loss of engine coolant, an unpleasant odor (e.g., exhaust) and/or an unusual noise from the engine. If this occurs, carefully move away from traffic and pull over to a safe location as soon as possible. All occupants should carefully exit the vehicle and move to a safe location away from traffic. Do not continue to drive the vehicle. SAMPLE If you are not the only driver of this vehicle, please advise all other drivers and passengers of this important information." My daughter was driving the car an almost home when she started to smell burning and minutes later saw smoke and flames. She got out of the call and called 911. The care was a total loss, due to this recall and BMW is taking no responsibility for the loss. She is still recovering from the incident and I would like to take action against BMW. I have the police and fire department report from the town of MIlton.

Engine and engine cooling: exhaust system: emission control: gas recirculation valve (egr valve)melting intake manifold
Engine and engine cooling: exhaust system: emission control: gas recirculation valve (egr valve)melting intake manifold
Some engine rumbling at normal operation, and noticed a yellow check-engine light, not filled (meaning not a catastrophic issue). Attached my OBDII reader and found error: 24BF00 Injector, cylinder 2, zero-quantity adaptation - permitted filtered actuation duration correction too high. A google search confirmed this fault is covered in https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10184567-9999.pdf with BMW, but my model year and vehicle is not included. I have an F15, 2015 X5, build date 12/2014. This year is covered on other vehicles with the same N57 engine, and so I would suspect that the same issue plaguing the same engine on other models should be applicable here. I would like consideration for additional model years to be added to the SIB.
I received a warning light and checked with my OBDII reader that the Diesel Exhaust Fluid transfer pump had a implausible reading and was not working. This is a key part of the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system, part of the emissions control system, and will make the vehicle fault to the point where it will lock the car from being driven (no start condition).

Rod bearing failure causing engine to be damaged. The car has 79k miles, fully maintained at a BMW dealership. My wife and toddler were driving on the highway when the car shut off with no warning. We towed the car to the same BMW dealer where we’ve had the car serviced since 34,673 miles.. The dealer documented metal flakes in the oil filter. The dealer confirmed a rod bearing spun causing a catastrophic failure to the engine requiring replacement. Initial quote exceeding price of car at $74k. BMW Corporate contacted me and offered a discount on a new engjne. I declined the offer because the repair work was $32,843. This rod bearing issue is a known problem among 2015-2018 BMW X5M owners. This problem in fact existed on a previous generation engine which is referred to as the S65 motor. BMW has released a bulletin to this group of owners guaranteeing replacement based on the amount of miles on a customers engine. In some cases, a free engine was provided by BMW at no cost to the customer. The car only had 79k miles and without BMW NA involved the dealer wanted $74,332 to replace and repair vehicle. The BMW supervisor on this case is Lindsay and she can be reached at (800) 831-1117 ext. 115. She disregarded this was a safety matter and thought other owners shouldn’t be compensated or warned about this complete loss of power while driving this particular model (2015-2018 BMW X5M). This is an unacceptable outcome for a car with a MSRP is over $100,000. I’ve talked to half a dozen other 2015-2018 BMW X5M owners who also had total engine failure due to this same rod bearing issue. All of the cases the engine exceeded the cost or current market value of car.

I have a recall notice for an EGR cooler in my 2015 BMW x5 diesel. At first there was no part available, for at least a year. Now a part has been available since September 2022. I sold the vehicle to my son in Roanoke, VA in September 2022. His dealer claims he can't get the part. This is a SAFETY issue. My original dealer in California had the part, but is telling my son he no longer has a part and in order to get a part from the warehouse, my son's Roanoke dealer HAS to be part of the Penske auto system. The Roanoke, VA dealer was sold around September 2022 and has been totally inept, can't get the part, made some other repair which was incorrect and now my son is driving a safety defective vehicle. This may not be the proper place to make a report, however the recall notice says to make a report, gives a website and says I can get information at the website, but not true. Additionally, the printed phone number does not work.

I purchased the vehicle in Feb 2022. I received a call from my dealer about the recall last week, they said they would perform the repair on 01/26/23. I picked the vehicle up the next day without them having performed the repair because the VIN still shows "remedy not available". The dealer did not even assess the safety issue when the car was brought in. I do not know if the car is safe to drive. Neither the dealer nor BMW have set expectations for when the recall is to be performed. What do I do next?

I have a BMW X5 and I received a recall notice, recall campaign 21V-907 (possibility of fire due to Exhaust gas recirculation cooler issue) 13 months ago. December 2021. BMW is telling me that they do not have the parts to fix this--13 months. THis is ridiculous. This is a FIRE hazard. What can be done? also your hotline does not work when dialed--- the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at: 1-888-327-4236

Coolant continues to leak because of this still unfixed issue. It still makes noises that it shouldn't. Its been EIGHT MONTHS since this recall was issued and still not fixed. It's unacceptable. There is a risk of fire and BMW is dragging it's feet!

Important safety recall issued, rcall campaign No 21V-907: EGR Cooler. BMW. Since the recall the engine is producing a weird noise, indicated as one of the effects, and the car has had so far two repairs performed in February and March, most probably as effects of this recall: diesel transfer pump had to be replaced and diesel particular sensor. Remedy is unavailable and BMW is not giving any solution so far, while i am incurring in high repair costs and the unavailability of my vehicle.

Sometimes when I drive the vehicle I smell smoke and there is a strong burning plastic smell. Occasionally, I see see smoke from the engine compartment. When I raise the hood it appears the smoke is coming from the back of the engine unit on the passenger side of the SUV. The problem is intermittent. Since COVID I barely drive so I have fairly low trip mileage.

My husband was driving 20-25 mph and heard a loud "boom" - then his engine compartment began smoking. We had the vehicle towed to the BMW dealership. A rod was thrown through the engine compartment and the engine needed to be replaced. We are the original owners of the vehicle and service it regularly. There were no leaks, noises, lights, nor any other indications of trouble prior to the engine blowing up.

A rod was thrown through the engine compartment and the engine needed to be replaced. We are the original owners of the vehicle and service it regularly. There were no leaks, noises, lights, nor any other indications of trouble prior to the engine blowing up.
Started my car like normal and ran for 30 seconds after leaving Walmart after I picked up a few things then the car shut off out of no where.. attempted to start again and the car tried to turn over then even stopped doing that after a few attempts.. I had the car towed to my home.. my husband then inspected the vehicle and the high pressure fuel pump has failed causing my engine to lock up.. I have maintained this vehicle like I should because I loved my car and my husband is a mechanic.. This vehicle only with 127000.. this should of not happened I have read bmw is going to recall this but when my vin is ran nothing shows up.. I owe on this vehicle still and it really has put me in a bind financially with having to miss work and having to find other transportation.. this is ridiculous. I got no warning lights or any noise warnings.

2015 X5 DIESEL HAD ITS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATE @ ~85,650 MILES WHILE DRIVING NORMALLY AT SURFACE STREET SPEEDS. DID NOT NOTICE ANY DRIVEABILITY/PERFORMANCE ISSUES, BUT TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER WITHIN A WEEK. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD GO ON AND OFF FOR THE WEEK LEADING UP TO DROPPING OFF. DEALER DIAGNOSED AS FAILURE OF 2 INJECTORS. CYLINDERS 1 AND 2. PAID TO HAVE VEHICLE REPAIRED AND APPEARS TO BE DRIVING NORMALLY AND NO RETURN OF CEL AS OF YET (ABOUT 50 MILES). BMW HAS AN EXTENDED 120,000 MILE WARRANTY (SIB 01 09 19) ON INJECTORS FOR THE MODEL YEAR 2016 AND 2017 X5 DIESEL WITH THE SAME ENGINE AND SAME INJECTORS AS WELL AS VARIOUS MY 2015, 2016, AND 2017 DIESEL VEHICLES.

I PARKED MY 2015 BMW X5 AT WORK AT 8:30 AM. WHEN I GOT INTO THE CAR AT 5:00 PM ALL THE LIGHTS WERE RED AND YELLOW ON THE DASHBOARD. I TRIED TO SEE IF THE VEHICLE CAN BE DRIVEN AND I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT JEOPARDIZING MY LIFE. LUCKILY, NOBODY ELSE WAS DRIVING IN THE PARKING LOT AT THE SAME TIME AS I DID NOT HAVE POWER IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE. NEXT DAY, MY CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAVE RODENT ISSUES AND THE RODENTS CHEWED THE WIRING INSIDE THE HARNESS. I CALLED BMW TO TELL THEM THAT THEY ARE JEOPARDIZING MY LIFE AND OTHER PEOPLE'S LIFE BUT THEY DID NOT CARE ABOUT MY COMMENTS AND THEY DO NOT WANT TO ADMIT THAT THIS IS POOR DESIGN ON THEIR SIDE. I ALSO TOLD THEM THAT EVEN IF I GET THE WIRING REPLACED , I CAN EXPERIENCE THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN AND AGAIN. I TOLD BMW THAT THEY SHOULD DO A RECALL TO FIX THIS ISSUE BUT THEY DID NOT CARE AT ALL. THE ONLY THING THAT THEY ARE TELLING ME IS THAT THIS IS AN "EXTERNAL ISSUE" AND THE CUSTOMER HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. PLEASE HELP ME AND THE OTHER BMW DRIVERS TO HAVE A SAFE RIDE AS I DON'T TRUST THE BMW COMPANY ANYMORE. *TR
