BMW is recalling 1,177 2013 BMW M5 and M6 coupes and convertibles in the U.S. due to an engine oil pump problem that could lead to severe engine damage, according to BMW of North America.
The automaker has stopped deliveries of the vehicles and it is telling owners not to drive the cars. The models are equipped with the German automaker’s new turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 engine that BMW internally calls the S63Tu.
Want a certified dealer-trained auto technician without paying dealer repair prices? This is the place to go.
Owner Ronald is a clean-cut, polite, clearly knowledgeable and experienced mechanic who is venturing out on his own. His shop is centrally located not far from Miami’s Downtown & Brickell corridor, and specializes in BMW and Mini as well as other European brands. Since I gave the shop advance notice, they were ready to troubleshoot the vehicle the minute I brought in my ’06 Mini Cooper.
The car was ready by the end of the day and came out as good as new. I saved 30% off dealer prices, with the peace of mind that the same tools and same certified mechanics were used.
