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.
