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 2012 750li and I have to put a qt or 2 a month in it, so I took to roadshow bmw in Memphis where I bought it and they said I have oil leaks throughout the motor so it would cost 11500 to reseal the motor or 16000 to replace. That’s ridiculous for the money you pay for these cars. I only have a 111k miles on my car.
Had name 750LI oil burning caused my engine to go out
W Byas I have a bmw X6 I have to add oil at least twice a month it crazy and I need to be reimbursed for a year and some I have spent so much money trying to get it right
I have a 2011 750Li that burns a quart every 350 miles. Just had it in the shop who verified burning oil after idling 10 minutes.
I am putting a court of oil in my bmw every 2 to 3 days. I would like to be added to the settlement list.
I have 2010 bmw 750li perfect condition and burn oil like it’s gas every 2 weeks quart sometimes more or less that’s avg

I constantly have to add oil to my BMW between oil changes. I would like to join the class action suit.

Hi, I own a 2014 X6 50idrive. My vehicle is apart of the 1st initial lawsuit and as of February 2019 my vehicle has had 7 oil consumption test and FAILED every one! It wasn’t until late July of 2021 was when BMW as finally agreed to replace the engine due to the excessive oil usage. This was great news until BMW refuses to honor what they have agreed to with the 1st initial oil consumption lawsuit settlement.
Which states “If a vehicle has failed 2 oil consumption test, the engine was to be replaced at a prorated percentage cost to the consumer based on the mileage of the vehicle”. My vehicle had failed its 2nd oil consumption test back in early months of 2019 at the mileage when my vehicle would have fallen under the prorated mileage of BMW @ 95%, and 5% consumer cost for the replacement engine. BMW continue to have their BMW Service Dept to do a “band-aid” fix on my X6 causing me to believe under false pretenses that my vehicle was safe to drive, that it does not have an excessive oil consumption issue, while adding up the miles on a faulty engine and when the “band-aid” fix will no longer work and with more miles on my X6, was when BMW of NA decided to say it’s time to replace the engine cuz now BMW’s prorated mileages percentage has dropped by 50% and mine has increased by 40%.
BMW should be held accountable for willing knowing they were building vehicles with a faulty engine and putting their consumers plus their consumers families life’s in jeopardy!!!!
