    2012 BMW X5 50i; ; Bang Settlement Engine Replacement

    N63 Bank Settlement Engine Replacement. My apologies to the Moderator if I missed a Sub Forum on this topic? I had expected to see a whole lot of Buzz about this!

    To my complete surprise BMW, via the Bang Settlement, approved the replacement of my 2012 X5 50i engine which has only 50,000 miles. (It does love Oil!!!) The Dealer provided a polite, easy diagnosis and immediate approval. (I do understand that it will be February before the new engine is available to install). Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but, have I missed something? I expected a huge fight, multiple dealer visits, tests etc. I got none of that?

    Has anyone had their engine replaced? Is the replacement a BMW Factory Engine? Warranted? Anything I should watch out for while this proceeds?

    Thank you for taking the time to review and, hopefully, respond.

    Well it has been a long time coming, BMW should be completely embarrassed by the engines they are producing

    Interesting to note, however, after a month of searching various Forums, I have yet to find anyone who has received a replacement engine? Has anyone received a replacement engine or does anyone have any estimated time of arrival? Thank you.

    Considering how long these engines have been burning oil it took BMW a long time to come up with a good repair. How did BMW bulid an engine like that, they should be embarrassed.
