Although I have not looked at the parts information or recall the spec from taking a quick look at the training material, the B58 uses a single sided thrust bearing. If this is the same, AND that's the issue, it's actually quite simple. For the B58 BMW shipped a bearing and a special tool that simply went into the oil galley in the crank and pulled the bearing out. Roll the other one in just the same. Those had severe wear at least than 10 miles due to a manufacturing issue with the bearing, so most of those got engines. That was the same as the B38 in the Minis as well since the engine are modular and use the same components and effected cars with a manual transmission. The repair was not much more invasive than an oil pan gasket really, if it was caught early. Although that was a stop drive campaign, not a delivery stop. Obviously that campaign had a higher failure rate than this one does. It doesn't stop everyone from getting their panties in a bunch though. : |

My production is 7/21 but according to the Uk website my car isn't part of the recall. So seems like not all cars produced in those months are affected?

God forbid a manufacturer fixes a known issue for free.

Yikes.... digging deep in the engine to replace that puppy too. I HIGHLY doubt they will replace engines rather than repair. Many people will be very against having their brand new cars engine completely torn apart to do the repair.... I don't blame them either.

The car has been available as a 2021, and now a 2022. The motor has been installed, in the X4M for a few years, already. The AWD system, not available on the 2021 models, is new for 2022, however, that system was lifted from the already popular F90 M5.

After finally convincing myself the face doesn't look "that bad" then hearing this I would be canceling if I could. And pissed if I had one in my garage.

I used to own an E36 328i SE that had a short block under warranty due to the bore wear issue (Alusil/Nickasil) which was blamed on high sulphur fuels. Also affected a friends E39 528i. With that one, some of dealers got good at the work and looked for the issue in cars that were in for service. They spotted mine through rough idle. This debacle did get them some bad press though, as they were slow to react when the first cars started having issues.

It's the engine assembly that they will have tracked and where the bearing shells were sourced from.

Wow, this thread is going nuts. Everything from the G80 haters finding new ways to slam the car to folks losing their minds and thinking they should park the cars indefinitely.
I’m lucky that so far, my car isn’t affected but if it were (and maybe it will be) I’ll keep driving it and deal with it when the time comes. Now…if I had an affected car that I hadn’t signed the paperwork for…that’s a different story. I don’t think I would accept a car with a potentially major engine issue. All of the talk about “That’s why I never buy a first year car” or “wait for the LCI” is dumb. 1. You could be dead tomorrow. 2. A lot of things change with the LCI cars which could introduce a new set of variables to go wrong. I bought what was an essential LCI AMG C63, it was a lemon so that doesn’t always help. G80 haters, quit looking for new ways to bash the car. You’ve got folks who put their money down and are stressed and you’re just sneaking dumb derogatory comments in at their expense. BMW engine issues are not limited to this car and you know it. Fellow G80 owners who are stressed, do your best to let go of this until you’ve got more information…information that you can actually take action on. If you’ve got an inbound car…I wouldn’t sign the papers to take ownership. My 2 cents and good luck to us all. |

I'd wanna try and know as early as possible so I could start digesting and processing how to respond. Good luck to everyone affected, I'm sorry you're going through this. My wife had a faulty 2014 X5 we had to let go after 6 months. Replaced it with a 2015 Tahoe we had to let go after a year. Lightening struck us twice back to back on first model year purchases. Now our 2021 Tahoe has been great. I feel for ya. Hang in there! Do your research, set it down, walk away, and come back later to continue. |

The nikasil block issues were only the M60 B30 and B40, which were aluminum block V8s in the 530, 540/740/840. If you're going to spread BS at least have the right application. Some of us here know the truth and will call you out on it. |
