Hi, I am a new member too and just bought a second hand x50i
Just after I picked it up blue smoke was everywhere!!!
I drove it some 900Kms home from Sydney and it went perfectly. WATCHED OIL LEVEL CLOSELY. It did slow down and only got to half level. Drove so well. Very impressed. Unfortunately I did not do enough homework on the N63 engine’s problems and now have been doing a lot, especially on this site. thanks for all the good stuff. I jus hope now after the night to cool off the x5 blew enormous smoke next morning and ran really rough and a kind of air pumping sound from under the bonnet and of course the Alarms came up on the dash! Booked it into BMW to be diagnosed but after this blog I think I know what needs to be done. I just hope the Australian BMW situation is same as US and will replace motor or at least repair it. Will post again soon.
