I TOOK MY 2009 BMW X6 TO THE BMW DEALER, UNION CITY GA FOR 3 PURPOSES: SUSPECTED LEAK OF COOLANT; CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON; AND EXCESSIVE SMOKE COMING FROM BOTH EXHAUST PIPES. SPOKE WITH/COMMUNICATED VIA EMAIL WITH BMW SVC REP, WENT OVER DOCUMENTED CONCERNS...TO INCLUDE SMOKE FROM BOTH EXHAUST PIPES; RECEIVED DOCUMENT FOR APPROVAL; WHICH I APPROVED. RECEIVED VEHICLE 3 DAYS LATER, RETURNING HOME WITH VEHICLE TO OBSERVE SMOKE 'EXCESSIVE' FROM BOTH EXHAUST PIPES. RETURNED VEHICLE, TO BE TOLD BY SVC MGR, "I'M SORRY, I CAN ONLY REPRIMAND SVC REP, AS THE WORK THAT WAS DONE WOULD NOT CORRECT SMOKE FROM EXHAUST." THEN, SVC MGR WENT ON TO SPEAK OF THE CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT THAT ADDRESSED THIS PROBLEM, BUT THE TIMEFRAME TO HAVE THIS CORRECTED (FOR FREE) HAD EXPIRED 'BY DATE"...AND THIS INFORMATION IS USUALLY SENT TO THE ORIGINAL OWNER. AS I EXPRESSED TO HIM, I AM THE 4TH OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE AND RECEIVED NO INFORMATION...HE OF COURSE WAS APOLOGETIC AND GAVE AN ESTIMATE OF $8K TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM (THAT I WAS "TOLD" AND PAID FOR WOULD CORRECT THE PROBLEM). I CALLED HQ BMW ONLY TO RECEIVE AN APOLOGY AND REFERRED TO BMW UNION CITY...TO RECEIVE A WRITTEN ESTIMATE FROM THE [SAME] SVC MANAGER. *SMOKE OBSERVED WIHILE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY WITH ENGINE ON; AND IN MOTION IN BOTH CITY AND ON HIGHWAY. BEGAN 3/16 - 3/31/2020

VANOS CAMSHAFT FAULT. FC 2A82 AND FC 2A87. I WAS DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 25MPH THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT COMES ON. I STOP TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT THE LIGHT IS NOW OFF AFTER DRIVING FOR 10MINS THE LIGHT COMES BACK ON THERE IS A LOSS OF POWER I'M STEPPING ON THE GAS AND THE CAR IS NOT GOING THIS HAS HAPPENED NEARLY EACH TIME I'VE DRIVEN THE CAR LATELY. I TAKE THE CAR TO A SHOP SPENDING ALMOST $1000 TO TELL ME THE VANOS OR CAMSHAFT ITSELF IS THE PROBLEM THIS REPAIR IS CLOSE TO $4000. I SEE THAT THIS IS BINDER RECALL FOR 2010 TO 2014 MODELS I'M THINKING YOU JUST FORGOT US. HELP THANK YOU.

ENGINE IS LEAKING OIL AND IT'S A FIRE HAZARD... GOOGLE SEARCH FOR EXACTLY THE SAME ISSUE INDICATES THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON WITH BMW. CAR HAS 25K MILES AND OIL FILTER GASKET AND CYLINDER HEAD ARE LEAKING OIL INTO ENGINE, THIS SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN ON A HARDLY DRIVEN CAR. SUSPECT BMW IS INTENTIONALLY USING DEFECTIVE PARTS TO CHARGE OUTRAGEOUS REPAIR FEES. OTHER MANUFACTURES RECALL THIS TYPE OF ISSUE, WHY IS BMW GETTING AWAY WITH THIS?
