S63 Squad, this engine is a power house. Take care if it and it will take care of you.
Why does it need spark plugs every 2 oil changes or 30k miles?
Rod bearings. Vanos. Gearbox due to torque. Pcv. Crank itself. Erm
As a jet engine technician, we relay a lot on oil analysis as we can monitor the wear trend on the engine. That has saved many engine failures during flight.....you do not want to have an engine shut down during flight.
Superb video mate, huge amount of informative content, thanks! By taking the occasion, I have a question - are you familiar with how this engine behaves with the latest M5 F90 from 2018/2022? I'm really interested in owning one as a daily in a long term, but after some research, I'm quite scared that it's going to spend more time at the dealer rather than on the road 😅
I have been waiting so long for this.!
Thank you Dean. I'll keep that in mind Dr.🍋☕👌🏾
Excellent video do you have a recommendation or the parts or somewhere to get hold of parts other than the main dealer?
I am driving my F10 M5 for past 7 years , this is my weekend car , my only issue is I had is oil leak in rear differential axel , transmission oil leak from the pan , numerous coolant leak so prepared to change the hose , but engine wise I would say no major issue , been changing oil every 8k km and always topping up if you drive hard , she does burn Oil , overall it’s a great car 🚙
How is the car going? I have one aswell.
Damn, after owning an S85 engine for years, doing rod bearings and worrying about the engine, I thought moving to an F10 M5 with the S63TU would make life easier... this video makes me want a Tesla lol
I hear you! My low mileage 2013 F10 M5 was fun, but unfortunately was problematic
Great video! I brought a 2018 X5M in February, just taken her for a drive across Europe... now she's in a German BMW garage having a new engine.
What happened did it broke ??
Engine seized while driving, just had a replacement engine, turbos, plugs etc in Germany... finally have the car back in the UK now.
What did they say was the cause?
@@haydensnart2423 I just bought a 2017 x5m with 56k kms on it, what should I have checked right away? So far it’s driving great!
Most of your points here are due to infrequent oil changes.
In my opinion these long oil change intervals are a con.. I get the feeling that BMW has a brainwashing scheme going here.
After a year or so in the sump the impurities in it will harden seals and generally mess things up.
The people I know who build performance engines always recommend very frequent oil changes. They would change their oil 4 to 6 times as often as BMW CBS indicates.
I refuse to leave oil in an engine on anything for more than a year.
fact
How about changing the oil every 6 to 8 months even if the car has not been used that much?
@@yussnan843 2 times a year wil be fine mine still going strong 240 killos
It’s a cheese engine like most M cars.
Yep, all sick engines were once healthy engines! Maintenance, maintenance, maintenance!
I have a 2016 B6 Alpina Gran Coupe, 52000 miles, always serviced at the dealer. NEVER NEVER ABUSED. Driving 30 mph I had an engine seizure. BMW is putting a brand new engine in. The estimate was $40,000 and I got them to pay for 75% of it which is a blessing considering the car's been out of warranty for just over 40 months. The engine should be coming in this week. I love BMWs but the more I research the more I see the same problems. Is that particular engine prone for failure? Because the car is rare theirs not much info available.....
Got a x5m 2011 196k runs very good s63 is reliable
rod bearings changed?
Fantastic video. Helped me decide to go with B58 or S58
I can’t believe BMW now make cars with these sort of major issues. I have been a BMW man for over 45 years. Owning E21 323i, E30 325iS, E24 635csi, E46 M3, and E60 530i. All of these engines other than a few small issues have been fabulous. I have been thinking about getting an M6 originally an E63 and now an F10. I was scared off by the V10 and the V8 in the E92 M3 and now the latest S63 engines have got me scared off too. Where does this leave me? I am not a Merc man nor an Audi fan as this would seem treacherous. I can’t afford to buy a new one, and buying secondhand is the only way I can afford this luxury brand. This has turned me off this once great marque. I will keep my beloved E24 and perhaps M3 but I will be buying Japanese from now on the thought of it just makes me feel bland, but The consolation is I won’t be broke either. BMW pick your act up !!!
Can’t be scared of everything all those cars can be reliable if taken care of. 10k or less isn’t shit to keep 100k cars running. Forever
the e60 and e63 V8 models are pretty reliable, I have a 545i, only got some small issues but now it's running like new. Only downside is that it has only 333hp
Just grab a b58 or s58 platform instead
Look a Lexus Ls600hL
Hey BMW Doctor what's the name of the intro song in the video can't find it in you're spotify list
Hello Doctor!
Hope you are keeping safe and healthy during these difficult times.
I was not sure where I could ask and see if you have come across anything like this, so here I am asking.
I have a 2005 BMW X5 3.0i. The past few months the following lights have come on EML, 4x4, Emergency Brake, and Engine light. When the engine light is on alone the car still drives fine. But when it is accompanied by the aforementioned lights, the car still drives, but acceleration above 50 Km becomes hard and the gas peddle becomes harder to push on. I have nooooooooo idea as to what the issue could be. I have taken the car into my amazing mechanic, but unfortunately the lights went off by the time it got there. They go on and come off at the most random of times. Sometimes they don't come on for a month and then at other times they will come off and on three times a day.
If anyone has experienced this very random and weird issue before, I would sincerely appreciate you sharing with me your experiences and most importantly solutions as well!
Most sincere regards,
Great bro . Brilliant advise . Can you do a review on the m8 engine ? Is itnan uograded s63 ? Any reliability mods on the m8 and 2021 m5?
Hey, it’s a S63B44T4 latest S63 to date and most reliable if I’m not wrong
Brilliant!
So I have to ask, cause I am not sure, but do you have any videos or experience with the N63TU3? Wondering what the reliability of that engine is in the 2021 X5 m50i cause I am contemplating getting one. Read one article saying in the TU3 version they fixed all of/most of the issues from the original N63
Off warranty…. 😮
Rod bearing advice was spot on!
My X5M (e70) s63 engine just failed with only 49,000 miles. Multiple rod bearing spun causing catastrophic failure. (It Looked as if the bearing disintegrated!) The BMW dealership wanted $36,000 for a new engine & install. Currently having the engine rebuilt at half that price.
Damn. warranty covered or paying out of pocket?
Please tell me the bearings and the rod bolts that you used. I am trying to save mine
Rod bearings problem is usually always from the driver taking too damn long to change the oil
@@jonasbaine3538 if its covered who would pay out of pocket for a rebuild elsewhere
You didn’t change your oil
Hi Doctor I have oil in my coolant on the f10 m5 any ideas what I should look out for.
Is this engine s63 on the new 2023 X6m competition?
Brilliant video Dean really informative 🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it my friend always commenting for me :) gladly appreciated
very informative video. question, i recently did an oil change and found many small flakes of metal and a couple larger pieces. However, no knocking sound of any sort and car still runs fine. Should i take it into a shop to replace the bearings? or would it be too late
your rod bearings possibly failing. Known issue with S63 engines.
If you haven't changed the bearings I would sell it
Can you also give links to code finder you mentioned aswell please doctor dean
Good info to know, since im planning to get an m6 in the near future
Someone mentioned the 4 coolant rubber coolant turbo lines on top of the engine ,and Fuel injectors need to be changed every 40k ,My M6 was tuned for 2 years no problems but then I got a faulty injector and I fried a piston.broke a piston ring land and oil blue smoke from the exhaust it was like Spyhunter smoke screen .
I don't agree about Blackstone, I have sent samples from known failing engines to test them without notifying them and the reports did come back indicating serious issues. But yes change your oil often.
As always great video Dean, can you make a video of how to reflush the coolant fluid on a N52 engine.
Great suggestion! And I will do that for you indeed
This is good content for the 2017 X5 M I used the thinkdiag for recommended on another video. Code: 20A201 comes up charge air, cooling System: Dry-Running Detected. what do you think is the issue?
Hello , i need an advice please . I want to share some pictures of esta diagnosis
Of course my dream car is the most unreliable POS lmao
BMW I hop your listening,,,,,note .There are many of us who want to buy our dream BMW but how to have the balls to turn out these engines with all these faults and wrap such a beautiful body around it thinking job done please get your act together we the people want to buy your cars in the used market so do your part and give us a bomb proof engine we can rely on
How do I fix a Bluetooth problem as it’s stopped working and USB ports stopped working to
I’m looking at buying a F90 with a view to keeping it long term. This engine does make me nervous. Surely the problems are addressed in the most recent version of this engine?
Hey I was wanting to do the same as you. I’ve heard also that the break in time is very important on a car’s life
Hi anyone got the the correct conrod bearing bolts torque settings and procedure for s63 X5M e70
Cheers 🤙
You forgot about turbo coolant lines leaking on the S63TU (not sure about other variants)
Yup lol. The rubber coolant lines that lead up to the coolant are a nightmare. I had to use to different types of clamps on each side of the line. So, 4 coolant hoses with 16 clamps just to hold the pressure...
I'm so glad my 2014 s63TU doesn't use up that much oil. I use 40w and change the oil every 3-4k miles...
Same on my 2015
Forte product will not help about oil burning in the S63 TU ???
@henzo7087 what makes a difference in oil burning is for my engine is stop and go traffic (running on idle) vs coasting on highway speeds (2k rpm or more). I burn more oil while sitting in traffic. Burn less oil while doing highway speed.
@@henzo7087 it needs to meet the same or similar specifications as Mobile 1 product
What the intro song please
Man all car manufacturers have issues get what you want and take care of it
Yeh , my f10 m5 on a spark plug change noticed every spark plug was swimming in oil on the coil side. Proper pissed me off as only done 30k miles, must be the rocker cover to spark plug tube oring or something, makes you wanna scream at bmw to why they be so stupid to overlook such a defect. But hey i still love bmw!
It’s basically a tiking time bomb. I had an n63 i couldn’t even get on it because something would break.
Where can I get ISTA?
oh my! I am feared to buy the 2024 x5m right now :( maybe I should buy gle63s which engine maybe better than bmw v8 ??
2025 X5M got the latest S63 which is more reliable if you wanna check this is this S63B44T4 engine code, I wouldn’t worry anyway because you probably going to get a warranty in case of problems
I own my dream car. 3 owner. 45k miles. 2014 M6. So far, no oil consumption... I am thinking of buying a replacement engine to build it with better components.
Have you run into any issues so far?
Im getting one by the end of this year and its not gonna stay stock for very long haha
Rebuild your current engine with forged components
@@patchworkkid24 no, it's got 64k miles now and still doesn't act bad. It is a TU, so Idk if that will make a difference in the rod bearings
Does it make sense to get a x5m and get the engine rebuilt using forged components? Like a pre-emptive strike?
I have a 15’ M5 how do you tell if engine is S63TU?
Not sure but I think after 2014 they started having TU.
Newbie question: WHY do tight specs cause oil consumption?
I guess after a certain amount of time heating-cooling cycles will put high stresses on the material so that the tolerances intended by the manufacturer cannot be kept. Remember that heating the engine up causes thermal expansion. Different parts, especially if made of different alloys/materials will expand at individual rates. The mismatch between different expansion rates causes thermomechanical stress.
I think this is manufacturing material issue, they don’t use proper materials against the powerful friction, bmw should compensate everybody who end up with these issues, because it’s clear these earlier V8 engines weren’t fully developed yet.
Also where are you based
Silly as it may seems I liked the engine because you can get upgraded diverter valves...the new S63TU dont have that capability....
Can a catch can help
scared to JB4 my n63tu3 after all these vids lol
At 16:40 the narrator says "if you don't have 'ista' the best point of call is to get yourself the 'ista' program." What is the correct spelling for 'ista' and what is it? A book? Software? Diagnostic equipment?
It's spelled (and pronounced) ISTA and is the software BMW uses for diagnosing, coding, troubleshooting and reading the car in question.
I have an M5 F90 LCI and the car has a really weird problem and the dealer cannot find the root cause 🤦🏻♂️ The car shakes at red lights…Any help will be highly appreciated…
Check the coolant res for a white dryer up substance, if seen could be leaking to injectors
I’ve never own one of these outside of warranty - and ONLY a BMW warranty
Warranty won’t cover leaks 😂
why are you talking about a m5 v10 when the video is about s63 2021 models?!
Not one mechanic suggested checking/replacing rod bearings on my 2012 X5M S63, dealer or bimmer shop. Total engine seize at 108k miles. All maintenance done on a regular basis, and did not ignore any issues. Oil always changed 5-7k and topped off every 1k miles. BMW failed when they engineered this engine! Later changes were a bandaid to a failed design. Stay away from this car, and for me all BMWs.
Agreed. Oil analysis is like me sending my poo to the lab to conclusively rule out colon cancer. Not happening. Before anyone gets agitated. Note I said CONCLUSIVELY rule it out. .
I was going to buy the m5 but based on all these you just said I’ll pass. Thank you bro for all that information
Do the maintanance on time don’t tune it unreasonably and youre fine go and get that m5
A $130000 M6 shouldn't have all these damn problems I just got the vanos code on my 14 m6🤦♂️😡
It's a BMW. I had a M8 competition for 3 years and I would do a lot of digs and rolls and my engine gave up to. Had to replace it with a whole new engine. And my car was stock
I'm a 3-time BMW owner (E36 328, E46 M3, F39 X2). BMWs are notorious for design defects, in particular, the M cars. On the E46 M3, the VANOS and the RACP are flawed. There is no other way to describe them. The S54 engines also go through rod bearings. The N63 / S63 are probably the most flawed engines ever built by BMW. If they weren't so flawed, there would not have been "customer care packages" and class action lawsuits. Some people had to spend thousands on repairs, even people who took care of the engines. You covered most of the issues, but you downplayed the valve guides and valve seals and you also didn't mention timing chains and chain guides. For you to say no BMWs are unreliable, I'd say you have a bad case of stockholm syndrome.
Sorry to tell you and correct you here, In the Uk there was never ever any of these said issues on ANY of the S63 OR the N63, because people are responsible owners and we ain’t given all the crap like you are over there. There was only ever a customer care package given to the USA as they didn’t realise there was so many imbeciles buying there cars, let me tell you before you come up here like the rest of your folks do, do not compare OUR UK BMWS to your American ones. We do NOT suffer ANY OF THE ISSUES you guys face believe me. BMW is literally one of the cheapest and most realisable cars in the Uk and even people on a £500 a month income can afford them there that cheap and garage costs well even cheaper. Why is that because we have something called the good garage scheme which means garages and main dealers cannot charge what they “Want” it’s set by the goverment and they set the prices. Your coming up here like there unreliable it’s the way you lot drive them over there and the way you maintain them, most in the USA maintain them on the cheap when they can’t afford them and that’s why they fail. It’s not the brand that’s a failure it’s the USA people which is said by Germany themselves many many times. This is EXACTLY why you don’t get certain BMWs like we get here, that have a very very reliable reputation because you would destroy that reputation, when people here know 150% these other models you don’t get don’t have issues. It’s no wonder Bmw wanted to pull out of your country. All these things you have mentioned here it’s all s**t as none of this happened in the Uk and many many many people are driving around in F10 M5 here for many many many years without a single issue since the moment they purchased it. How about go look on the Uk forums and the Uk Facebook pages maybe that will shock you how “Real” owners look after there cars. And give you a shock to see how reliable they are over here. And IM CORRECT NO BMW IS UNRELIABLE FOR ME ! And I state that as I have a trade account with BMW which means any parts I need I get them at 65% discount from BMW which I fix them all myself electronically and mechanically therefore not making it unreliable for me and the rest of the people I fix there cars for free which is 1000s in the Uk.
@@BMWDoctor If you think every N63 or S63 that failed in NA is because of the owner, you are mistaken. Of course there are people that treat their cars like crap, because they are leased, but there are plenty of enthusiasts that took care of their cars because they bought their cars to appreciate, who had their engines fail.
S54 VANOS fails around the world, because BMW uses crap buna seals. The E46 M3 RACP fails around the world because it's a shitty weak design.
Anyway, there is no point arguing. Keep up the great videos.
@@BMWDoctorOne final reply. It's BMW that sets the service interval, which is not sufficient. If there's one thing that any performance engine needs, it's frequent oil changes. For my M3, it's something ridiculous like 22000 kms. It should be half of that. Another difference between UK and North America is the climate. There are places in Northern USA and Canada that have huge temperature differences between summer and winter (e.g., +35 C to -45 C in Edmonton). Temperatures can hit well over 40C in the summer in North America. The UK has much less variation and less extreme heat and cold, which likely has something to do with there being fewer problems with these engines. Anyway...
No bro your very wrong, I speak to Bmw in Munich and many other manafacturers. Let me tell you it’s not the climate ! Have you ever removed a part from a BMW warranty car ? If you ain’t you wouldn’t know. BMW send China faulty parts to the USA as what Bmw have said themselves it’s because THEY CAN. As they said Americans are rich and will pay out there pocket for anything that needs doing or can get loans very easily to pay for it. Here in the Uk that’s not the case we have a thing called “Quality Control” which every part is checked at the factory by someone in the Uk and they are watched with everything they are doing and fitting to there cars. Why do you think we have BMW engine factory’s in the UK and you don’t have any in the USA ? They have already said the Uk cannot afford big prices so no point in them making the cars unreliable for here and the rest of the EU and why do you think they only send you all the crap models ? We we get all the reliable diesel models and have hardly ANY issues. This isn’t just about climate believe me on that I speak to (A lot) of people in Germany. It’s a known fact what is fitted to your cars engines , suspension , and the chassis is not the sane which is getting sent over the world. But that’s because you are there biggest contributor and money maker because you guys py through your nose to own this car. The big difference here is WE WONT and they know that like many many celebrity’s here have done gone over to Mercedes and so has many people I know and BMW learned from that. You contribute for BMW to make cars exclusively for the Uk and America get nothing in return everything you get we get and even more. And why do you think they do that ? Mate when you buy BMWs there abd you pay HIGH HIGH prices it’s because your funding for us. Why you think we get all m sports from factory easy here with all options ? It ain’t a added extra and we don’t get cream interior ? Every car here is m sport Bmw is one of the cheapest cars in the Uk and that isn’t a joke. You can pick up broken F10 for under £1000 here. But in the USA Jesus you guys are still paying $6-7k for a E46 I would never ever give that and for a piece of s**t model aswell !! Not even a m sport or 330i convertible I mean I would only give £900 for a 330i convertible m sport E46 I have never seen a car market for BMW so strong. But you also have to factor in a lot of you guys over there seem to think you can ALL own these cars and when they go wrong you wanna blame the manafacturer as I said I don’t blame BMW I blame you as a owner ! That’s just it I blame the owner. Sorry that car never asked to be picked go and buy a Chevy or dodge, I don’t know why many of you buy a BMW like you think it’s some race car I mean you have people buying 328i like it’s a race car. Go and buy a Honda you wanna buy Bmw to look good and BMW will make you look like a 🛎 end by the time it’s finished with you. Because your a idiot to own it, one thing I learned with these cars some have more bad luck then others which means one thing the brand don’t like you ! And the car don’t like you ! So don’t go back. That’s why I never went back to Ford as that was more unreliable for me then a BMW. Everyone I got broke it means that car wasn’t for me.
@BMWDoctor failed rod bearings have nothing to do with a UK or USA, your comment is absurd. Part of the problem with the V8 M3 was BMW idiotically calling for 10W‐60 when owners running 5W-30 have few problems.
As far as oil testing, use oilanalyzers
Finally, and high boost engine needs a catch can because they all have blowby (especially bad with DI engines)
First thing in the list is vanis solenoids like nothing has improved from s85. Who even wants to buy m engines because of their unreliability, amg seems better option
I LOVE AMG ENGINES !! AMG is much better then M Cars anyway. If prices didn’t keep going up believe me I would buy a C63 AMG anyday over BMW solid , reliable , and quality built car and I love the badge showing the engine builder on that engine. That is pure bliss and luxury.
Deep down you know I am right
@@BMWDoctor AMG isn't better than BMW. I bought BMW cars in UK and they are pretty reliable and solid, also BMW are faster
@@Sasskin he’s literally agreeing with u dummy
You'd think, after years of these same issues... BMW would get their 💩 together, take some pointers from Toyota, and engineer some reliable engines, that don't leak oil past the valves, and have rod bearings, proper for their application.. 🙄
This is exactly why I sold all mine..smh..
Go get yourself an Ista ? What’s that
Thank you, this was very informative. Although I accept no car/brand is perfect, BMW are good at constantly having bad/unreliable engine. 6, 8, 10 cylinders, it doesn't matter!
You obviously don’t know shit about cars lmfao
We have 3 BMW's in home no problems with them but change oil every 7 k km
Why would you want one of these engines? Hell no
Believe and put your Faith in Jesus Christ’s Death Burial and Resurrection and you will be Saved
