i don't like this thread at all!!!!
i'm not talking crap at all bc i pray nothing like that happens to me as this car brings me much enjoyment but there is such a thing as babying too much. -if you dont use it you lose it i do know getting down hard on a high perf car is recommended bc it blows carbon out, and well... its a hi perf car and was made to boogie. i baby mine in the sense that it stays immaculate and dry and fresh oil and fluids and hign dollar gas and letting it warm up and cool down as best i know how as well as keeping my oil temp at the first mark ~185° at alk times while driving but when she is ready, its rock 'n roll time Last edited by BeachM5nster; 04-28-2019 at 09:34 AM.. |

My Porsche is going up in value also but I don't think of the M as an investment in the same way as the former, even so if someone wants an M then they're not going to get my one for a song as I plan to keep it a long time.

Having to shell out $47K for an engine is not a smart move for a car that will be worth a brick by comparison. |

I assume the the heads aren't quite strong enough for the boost either since leaks are showing up and the car is consuming oil... designed for lease not brand excellence I guess. My father in law was a limo driver for a Manhattan big wig, he drove a 750iL - same thing, drinking oil. |

I'm at about 95,000 miles now... No problems at the moment. I have more engine issues on a lower mileage Civic and Toyota.
I mean, yeah - reading posts like this is concerning... But out of 19,500 m5's built a handful of cases is nothing. Sorry to hear about your car, OP. Thanks for posting about it to the rest of us. I'd like to know what oil you were using. |

I'm on 46k miles now and have one of the early m5s. I'm not sure if mine was affected by the oil pump issue but there are no outstanding recalls. Would it be wise to replace the bearing shells as a precaution?

As the a/market superchargers on E93's,tunes and mods may exacerbate a weakness on M5 if it is there over a period of time especially if driven hard regularly.Affected oil pumps were replaced on approx 650 US models back in 2012.

I did a quick search on Troy and would be careful. I hope it all works out for the best for you OP.
For everyone else whatever Troy is saying I would listen in one ear and out the other. He's in the business of rebuilding engines of course he gonna say that. That's his income and his job. He's a salesperson just as much as a engine builder. |
