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.

I have a 2011 X5 purchased it in 2020. The dealer said the oil consumption test was performed prior to purchase. 4 months later took it back to dealership to perform another one and they said there was no leak. Returned again 3 months later and was told turbo charger seals need to be replaced. Took the car back for annual inspection and asked from another consumption and this time, the test included me driving for 1K miles or until low oil caution symbol comes on. My vehicle was part of the initial class action lawsuit but because I was in the final year when I purchased the car, they gave me the run around. I would like to be added. It’s not the consumers fault if BMW products defective products. We should not have to pay thousands for faulty manufacturing. No matter what year, make or model, since this is a known issue, there should be a recall or they need to fix it. ADD ME TOO
Having similar issues with 2014 BMW X1 28idrive, didn’t see it in the list above. Hmmmm?? ? Had it looked at today 10/12/21 matter of fact at Cain BMW dealership because of white smoke coming from engine and tail pipe, and smells like something burning. Had just had an oil change last month in September, had to add oil and coolant to my vehicle already. Was informed by BMW mechanic the issue is the valve cover assembly is leaking in the back, and oil turbo feed line check valve is failing. Why aren’t X1’s included in this?? Sounds like an eerily similar issue.
I have a 2016 650i, it has black smoke coming out all the time, have to add 2 quarts of oil to it every two
weeks. It just failed the oil consumption test. please add me to the lawsuit.

The proposed settlement is a joke. Owners of vehicles with the N63 engine can potentially face 10s of thousands of dollars in repairs including valve seals, valve guides, turbo failures, oil leaks, even total engine failure. The oil consumption problem is the tip of the iceberg. It’s a symptom of the design flaws centering around the hot-v design that started in the original N63 and have never been resolved in four technical updates.
