BMW may pay more than 70,000 Class Members $95 class action rebates, up to $900 for failed oil consumption tests, and offer thousands in credits under the terms of a settlement, according to court documents filed Friday.
Lead plaintiffs, Thomas Isley, Jeffery Quinn, Vipul Khanna, Walington Urena, Daniel Gulick, and Michael Henchy Jr urged a New Jersey court to approve the proposed settlement that would end a class action lawsuit alleging certain 2013-2019 BMW cars suffered from a defect that caused the excessive consumption of oil.
Class Members include all current and former owners and lessees of the following BMW vehicles:
- 2013-2019 BMW 650i/xi (TU1)
- 2013-2018 BMW 650i/xi Convertible (TU1)
- 2013-2017 BMW 650i/xi Coupe (TU1)
- 2013-2015 BMW 750i/xi (TU1)
- 2013-2015 BMW 750Li/LXi (TU1)
- 2014-2016 BMW 550i/xi (TU1)
- 2014-2018 BMW X5 (TU1)
- 2015-2019 BMW X6 (TU1)
If approved, approximately 70,000 BMW owners may be able to take advantage of three benefit components outlined in the settlement agreement.
First, Class Members will be able to get two free quarts of oil, as well as an oil consumption test, for future oil changes at a BMW Center. If their vehicle fails the oil consumption test, the BMW Center will either repair or replace the engine for free or at a reduced cost depending on the mileage of the vehicle.
Under the BMW oil burning class action lawsuit, Class Members may be able to be reimbursed for the cost of up to four oil changes. Class Members can claim up to $95 each to cover oil change costs, according to settlement documents. Further, Class Members may be able to recover up to $900 for failed oil consumption tests and related repairs.
Class Members may also be able to claim either a $1,500 credit toward the purchase of a BMW 6 Series, 7 Series, X5, X6, or X7, or a $1000 credit toward the purchase of all other BMW vehicles.
If approved, the settlement agreement will end a class action lawsuit alleging certain BMW engines are plagued with an oil burning defect, similar to older models. Indeed, owners of older models of BMW vehicles may have been able to take part in an earlier settlement agreement; however, the automaker did not cover those who owned newer cars, claimed the plaintiffs.
“Plaintiffs’ goal here was to reach a deal that provided benefits to those BMW owners who suffered from the same oil issue…[t]he settlement benefits here do that,” state the court documents.

Purchased an x5 bmw- you have to add additional oil when the light comes on. The service manager knows their issues. Said known issues with car.
I have a 2013 BMW x6 that is now burning oil . I called BMW Headquarters about this issue and the class action lawsuit that was put in place and they said I had until 2018 to file a claim. It’s nothing they can do about it . Well unfortunately I didn’t own the car in 2018 . I just bought the car cash from a private seller. Ohh and I was told that my vehicle falls under that class action Someone please help
I have a 2012 BMW 535i xdrive. After about two months it started leaking oil. I’ve paid over $2000 to have it fixed and it still leaks oil. It smells really bad and the engine smokes. Each time I put it in the shop they say it’s a slow oil leak and will not damage anything. I’m really concerned about my health from breathing it in for all these years. I bought the car used in 2017 so I’ve dealt with this for over six years. I called BMW when it first started at about 30,0000 miles. They said it was not covered under the warranty. I have about 72,000 miles on it now. I need help getting it fixed and I’d like to get reimbursed for my health problems from breathing in the oil smell.
I have a 2014 328d XDrive -2 L
I have spent over $8,000 on repairs from replacing filters, EGR position fault, SCR injector, temp injectors, metals in oil, can’t pass smog and more, including the engine. I still owe $7,000 and the car can’t even run.
