For my "other" work apart from replacing valve stem seals and the turbo return lines, which are covered by the settlement;

I am having both sides control arms and ball joints replaced with my parts,

Coolant and power steering reservoir with my parts and flushing both systems with fresh fluids

Thermostat and Auxilliary water pump., dealer supplied parts.

Wheels Alignment

All the above for 2300

Thanks so much,
Just trying to prepare for any extra costs and repairs after I bring my truck in to the dealer.

More benefits.

For a new engine, would have been worth it! I didn't get any letter though, as I'm only a Canuck. Any class actions for Canadians??

"Free" Engine replacement is not really free as you have pay a share of the cost depending on the mileage of the vehicle. If you have already driven 100k miles then your share will be 50-60 percent of the total free value

Chris - this settlement is only applicable to BMW models with the N63 engine (2011-2013 xDrive50i, and certain year 550i & 750i models). Your profile shows you have an X5M - this has a different motor that was not included in this settlement.

Picked the car up today. Seems to run very well, the dealer did a great job. They replaced the valve seals, and a bunch of gaskets including valve cover gaskets. They also did the oil change and new battery, all under warranty.

I had them replace turbo coolant lines while they were at it. Also, there was a CEL being caused by vanos solenoid valve. They only charged me for the cost of the valve, no labor. Three years ago they already replaced this valve under warranty and it failed again, unless they have more than one of the same valves.

After the repair it went through a quart in 2000k miles, now needs another quart after 800 miles. I don't know if I should bother complaining again or just let it be.

Have the dealer tested again. I had a new engine put in at around 90k miles under the settlement. I was using a quart every 800 miles. My issue was due to one of the cylinders having bad compression. From what I read these engines had a lot of cylinder/ring issues also.

I'm just curious - how did you solve bad compression on one cylinder ? New piston with rings ?
