Yes, very interesting! I'm not high on the BMW engine. I have an X5 and it's $$$$ to do anything to the engine.

 

[jackajm]

So is it the same engine that's in your X5 or is it something else?

 

[Arailt]

Yep, it's the 3.0 single turbo I6 that's in just about every BMW (in one variation or another), and I think the Supra. Looks like there will also be a single turbo I6 BMW diesel option.

Ah, so something to avoid?

No, it's a been a good motor for the most part. Great power and torque. I guess I just don't think of long term reliability when I hear BMW.

I had a problem with the injectors around 30k miles. Luckily it was under warranty because it would have been over 3K to fix. I'm at 55k now and the problem seems to be coming back. I haven't taken it in yet, but I'm sure it's going to be an arm and a leg to fix.

Agreed! Anything is better than a Land Rover engine.

He is haha. My wife insisted we get our X5. I make it a point to use my turn signals and not be a dick every time I drive it because he's spot on.

It's like the old Jaguar joke: what's the difference between a porcupine and a Jaguar?

Answer: the porcupine has the prick on the outside.

My Dad used to tell me, "Don't buy a British car unless you can buy the mechanic to go with!" and, "The Brit's will take one component that may only need 1 gasket, and "engineer" it to be 6 parts, each needing it's own gasket to build the same component!"

I’ve had a Jag and 2 Rovers - loved all three but the reputation is very well deserved.
