F10 M5 oil pump failure. Stop on production & deliveries

dxb335d · 09-21-2012, 02:56 PM

Any M5 or M6 manufactured between july and sep this year have a faulty oil pump. Owners are being contacted and told not to drive the car.

Deliveries stopped etc also so this can be addressed.

Not good but better than mullering the engine.

Nice to know - but I dont think it will bother too many people on here.

You have to wonder how much damage might already be done to the engine if the oil isn't circulating well.

Apparently Kerr it's a sudden failure. So if it has not failed before the recall/service action then it should be ok. I'm sure more info will come to light soon.

Not so bad then.

Still a worry though.

But it could fail at any time hence the halting of production and delivery also.

All current owners are being contacted and told to stop using the car immediately.

Mmm, they would say that though wouldn't they!! Call me Mr Cynical

.

Someone near me has a new M6 Cab, had one for years before, I must say it does look stunning however, to the untrained eye, I guess it looks like a standard 6er Cab (the M6 reg plate in this case helping

)

I sat in an M6 today at a local motor show and was chatting to the BMW rep (who I knew anyway from previous dealings). He didn't think it affected the M5, and it was only a certain batch (maybe the time-frame you suggest Carl), but the one I sat in was affected so wait awaiting correction. Gorgeous car though.

dxb335d · 09-23-2012, 07:45 AM

I've yet to see an M6 in person yet. In the previous Gen M5/6 I always Prefered the M5.

Year my mate who works in the London car crime unit said arrested a gang of four thieves on Sat night, when raided the garage lock up found all the kit for nicking BMW:-

A set of blank keys & OBD programming unit for the 3 series

And 10 new oil pumps to start the M5's

dxb335d · 09-23-2012, 11:21 AM

To start them? What you on about mate

wheelie good · 09-23-2012, 01:40 PM

Tis meant to be a joke, but failed big time I guess. I'll get me coat.

Shoulda said to keep the engine running

dxb335d · 09-23-2012, 02:00 PM
