Precisely. The N63tu (2013/14) rectified the turbo waste gate issue. Virtually everything else he talked about is now either covered up to 110,000 by BMW NA, or part of the class action law suite. I got my valve guilds fixed by BMW NA 100% free.

Have had my 550 for 12 years. Few problems although lately just had a Vanos solenoid fail. But I ignored BMW oil change recommendations (21,000 km) and did my oil every 5k instead. When the car went in for the CCP the service manager called me and asked why my engine was the only one he had seen without any sludge.

[@jamesclifford8539]

I live in the States and was wondering how do I buy ISTA program and the Forte products you mentioned?

[@rotorblade9508]

You can reduce the head temperature by titanium wrapping the down pipes and turbos, or using a ceramic coat. Then I think an extra oil radiator should help Then the direct injection issues affect most engines: carbon deposits. So it may help adding two OCC’s, and installing two 5bar injectors before the throttle body to spray some fuel to clean the valves. A methanol injection control unit may work, but you need a fuel pump, pressure regulator and a small aluminum tank from racing parts and custom charge pipes. I’ll do this for my new b48 engine. The hybrid port/direct injection is already used by manufacturers

Superb video, Dean. I have looked at Seven Series for years, with this engine, because they are cheap, even for very clean examples.Would love to have one, but not with this litany of problems. Would a nice S Class be a better buy, all things the same, in your opinion?

Yes s class more reliable. 2015 shows much better than average in Consumer Reports rating. Just be careful cause transmission reliability dropped to only average.

I bought a car with N63; very on-purpose with as few miles as possible to get ahead of nightmares caused from lack of maintenance. The engine runs like new and i'd like to keep it that way. You have links to the products to do proactive maintenance but they link to UK amazon; i don't know how to 'send a message' so i'm putting in a comment; you said you can sell the product for the VSS treatment and also i'm interested in the injector cleaner and if applicable, top engine, or turbo oil.

Yep the N63 is definitely one of those motors you either have to really keep on top of or avoid altogether. On my Uncle's X6 50i we went ahead with catless downpipes and turbo wraps for the heat soak issue, had a carbon cleaning service performed (manifold taken off), ran a catch can, installed a 90 degree thermostat and change the coolant every 2 years both in the main and auxiliary system. That's what we did so far.... Later on we will be looking out for piping and tubing located in the V of the motor to see if they fail. At this moment the motor runs fantastic and pulls like hell but constant checking is required.

[@gjkMN]

How are things holding up? If I buy an n63 x5, which I just might, catless and wrapped downpipes with turbo blanket and 90 t stat are what I'd do as well. Curious how much it'll actually help the engine long term.

[@surajminhas711]

@@gjkMN add a sport oil cooler valve, I have a 750i 2009 and I installed a 90c thermostat and a sport oil cooler valve (which allows more oil into the oil cooler) and my temps have been reduced by 20-25 degrees…I would recommend changing oil every 3000kms and adding a additive for those seals and add injector cleaner into the tank on every oil change so that the injectors are clean.

I have a 2013 650i, and so far it’s been pretty good! You do have to top off oil more often than you should. But I think if you know what you’re doing and have the money for just in case, go for it. But if you want a car that doesn’t need to be tended to stay away from this😂

I mean if it was that bad, wouldn't they go back to the drawing board and figure something else out for 8 cyl. engines? This engine configuration has been in production for a decade now.

[@chuckgibbs5960]

Had to trade in my 550i GT with that variant of the N63. Unfortunately car fax had a lot of info on my car that depreciated the value. On my last visit to the dealership, the warranty covered $12k worth of work. Most of it due to engine work: valve replacement for at least the second time and the rear suspension. Glad I had paid for the extended warranty. If nothing else, the internet is a great source of info for this and a lot of things. Obviously uTube helps too. I'm curious to know if a 6 cylinder engine could replace the N63??!!

[@mmarmrcz6770]

I had an extended warranty Platinum something... on my 2011 550i. I'm on my 3rd engine. Car has 68,000 miles and the engine 24,000 now. Last bill was $21,000 plus (covered by the warranty). The newest version of the engine in 2018 was sent over to NY BMW dealer from Germany and then installed. I had to pay $1,500 for diagnostic. The warranty company was looking for any reason not to cover the engine replacement. Trying to say It was owner fault for not having adequate oil in the engine, but the teardown/diagnostic proved otherwise. All I want to say is thank God for the warranty. The old engine used to burn so much oil and threw two bearings which contaminated the engine with metal pieces and caused it to knock. The current engine burns a quart every 5,000 miles or so (it's still BS). I replaced the coolant lines and 2 ignition coils, due to a misfire under acceleration to 80 mph. BMW was using the old, faulty coils. If you need coils replaced, make sure you get the new version. Other than what I've mentioned, the 550i is good to go. (mine's a 6 speed manual, M-Sport, rear wheel drive, still looks like brand new) Used to have the Dinan stage 2, but haven't had the car reflashed. I'm fine with it as it is. I own other cars if I want to go fast.

Does anyone think that if you were to make the cooling systems in the n63 super beefy and almost too big and over cool things would help with the valve stem seals and getting hot?

[@mmarmrcz6770]

It's not really a bad engine, but it has its flaws. The main one is the turbos are housed right on top of the engine, in the V. There's your problem, HEAT. The turbos get super hot and fry the oil in the tubes for circulating the oil to the turbos. If you drive the car hard and suddenly just turn the engine off, the turbos haven't cooled down effectively and the extreme heat fries the oils in the tubes, which isn't circulating now. Best thing is to drive gently to your destination, the last few miles, so the engine can cool down some, or have the engine idle for a few minutes after driving hard. And change the oil every 5000 miles and make sure oil level is full.

[@lindenblvd25]

everyone keeps just saying the N63 which is the first gen engine before 2012 or 2013 but they never really mention the years I know a lot of issues were fixed with the other gens, are the N63TU reliable? or the N63TU2?

[@twei2840]

N63 is now 3rd gen with TU3. Not sure if these later generations of n63 have same issues. As far as I know the first gen of m850i using the TU3 from 2019 hasn’t seen any issues yet

Was considering an Alpina B5 but this video convinced me otherwise and it's now struck from my shortlist.

[@edmasoud2826]

So basically you are telling me that my 2022 M550 has a junk engine and something or another will fail at some point. I thought BMW may have fixes these issues on latest models, but I am glad that I am just leasing it. I was thinking of keeping the M550 because it is an incredible fun car to drive.

[@thebmwfan]

Could you please make a video or an update about the s63 engine found in the F10 m5 . I am considering buying one and would like to know if it has the same issues as the n63 or maybe even more. ps great videos, simple and to the point

[@bertman94]

BMW mechanic 10 years here, we haven't really had too many problems with the M5 engines or their counterparts at our garage. The injectors were an early issue with carbon building up but we've never changed a chain on one. He's absolutely right about the oil consumption but it's more the constraints manufacturers are under when it comes to efficiency and emissions, the oil we're using is now the same across the board 0w30 which is extremely thin for such a powerful hot running engine and it therefore burns oil like nobody's business, he's incorrect about the oil service intervals as well, it's got nothing to do with them thinking they can get away with longer because it needs topping up more often but how clean it runs, less of the nasty burn off gets deposited into the oil and therefore it doesn't need changing as often, the colour of the engine oil when you do a change in the latest petrols is quite surprising.

I feel sad now. I had my 2013 550i since 20k now at 80k, no issues to speak of just regular maintenance costs.

I own a 750li. I love the car, but hate the engine oil use. I wish there was a true fix for it.

[@Tinnitusound]

Are you talking about all n63 engines? Because from what I know those problems are from original N63 that was produced from 2008 till 2012. They have fixed most of those problems in N63TU2.

[@Blace5]

What exactly did BMW corrected In the new N63TU engine??

[@camposjesus3725]

Just get the N63TU and its other improved variations. Those are reliable.

[@lostthe80s]

Two points - 1) I have the 750Li 63tu version - its been very reliable, but yes you DO need to regularly check and top up the oil. and 2) I'm English but the presenter is speaking so fast, that even I am having difficulty following what he's saying !

[@09BIJAN09]

Would you say 6 cylinder diesel or 6 cylinder petrol to be typically more reliable if looked after well. N55 vs n57

[@BMWDoctor]

N55 AVOID con rod bearing failure is high ON THAT ENGINE N57 timing chain guides BREAK and need the engine out to replace regardless what engine you go for its going to happen its a common failure regardless if you want something good and reliable N52 is a good solid engine BUT water pump can still be quite pricey aswell as vanos solenoids but overall its a cracking engine and one I sure love my heart is devoted to that engine

[@09BIJAN09]

BMW Doctor aw thanks. Did bmw start saving money by using shit parts in n57. M57 a superior chain?

[@BMWDoctor]

Yes they did indeed it started on the M57N engine and then carried on and got worse

[@michaelnikprelaj6679]

BMW Doctor Actually no, N55 ISNT a high risk for rod bearings failure. The only reason the bearings spin is after an oil filter housing gasket job the person doesn’t reprime the oil pump causing the bearings to run dry and boom... rod bearings

The old N63s are bad. 2008-2015ish. 99% of the issuee have been fixed on the newer models. Just keep up on maintenance and it'll be fine. Id also recommend staying with a 2020 or newer car with a N63 engine.

Not really an issue WRT reliability. Meet the service requirements and operate the vehicle in accordance with the manufacturer’s directives. If they vehicle has a fault within the first 10 years of life, BMW is obligated to fix it IAW consumer law, insofar as the constitution of Germany and Australia are concerned. Check your jurisdiction’s constitution.
