Had my first M5 for a day and...

[ryguyny]

Just picked up my first M5 — a 2013, single-owner with a clean Carfax. Cool part is, it was originally purchased from the same dealership I bought it from (BMW of Fairfax).
The car had to be shipped up from Virginia, and I finally received it on Monday. Took it out for a spin Tuesday and… boom — major issues. No limp mode, just full-on stalling.
Had to get it towed to my local BMW dealer, and wow… those repair costs add up fast.
Good news is the selling dealer is stepping up. They offered a full refund if they can’t fix it. They’re shipping the car back to their service department in VA to dig into the issue and see how bad it really is. Fingers crossed it’s not catastrophic.
Looking forward to sticking around here and (hopefully) getting back behind the wheel soon

Stealership. HPFPs, yes, plugs, yes. The rest is bullshit.

Does it like keep on stalling? Or can’t start it up again?

[ryguyny]

Stalls. Heavy gas smell smoke out of tailpipes.

Uh oh that sounds like stuck open injector(s).

They are concerned about internal damage. Concerns are the excess fuel washed out the oil in the cylinders.

Hopefully not the case, would like to keep the vehicle but shout out to Rick @ BMW of Fairfax. Taking responsibility and doing the right thing.

Hope no one was racing the rap out of it in between the sale and delivery to the buyer, such a coincidence it happened right now. When the sale shop owner goes home the guys may have had a little fun with it, unfortunately it happens.

If the selling dealership is able to repair, is it worth keeping the vehicle? Or am I keeping a future headache?

[M5Rick]

^ It should be alright once it's fixed with new parts, I've had my '13 for 8 years and going like a train, they need oil changes every 5k that keeps them happy and no spirited driving until oil is at normal temp.

Well it’s toast! Bent a rod!

[M5Rick]

Question now is what is the dealer is going to do, refund you or do a PU rebuild.

Full refund!

Should’ve gotten them to cover a rebuild.. then you would’ve had no worries

Sorry for your loss it must have been tuned? I’m pretty sure rods are not a problem or at least very rare at stock power unless excessive leaking from injectors caused motor to hydrolock and bent the rods
