BMW 650 N63 ENGINE ISSUES AKA DRIVETRAIN MALFUNCTION (DTM) ERROR HAS BEEN A VERY COMMON ISSUE IN THESE CARS. IF YOU DO YOUR RESEARCH PEOPLE WITH BRAND NEW CARS WITH LESS THAN 100 MILES HAVE THESE ISSUES AS WELL. LONG STORY SHORT BMW, NA OFFERED TO BUY BACK MY CAR AFTER SPENDING MORE THAN 5 WEEKS IN THE SHOP FOR 2ND REPAIR. FIRST REPAIR WAS THE RECALL , BMW OFFERED AS THE "CUSTOMER CARE PACKAGE" . I PURCHASED IT CPO (CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED) W/ 26,000 MILES., I WAS UNHAPPY WITH THE OFFER SINCE THEY DEDUCTED MILEAGE USED. DTM OCCURRED AT APPROXIMATELY 29,000 MILES AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR LESS THAN 4 MONTHS. OF COURSE THE BMW DISMISSED IT SINCE THE DTM RESOLVED AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR. IT USUALLY OCCURS RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING HIGH SPEEDS ABOVE 60 MPH ON THE FREEWAY THE CAR SHAKES, RATTLES, DECELERATES AND IS UNRESPONSIVE WHEN STEPPING ON THE GAS. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE IN NEW 650I W/ N63 ENGINES PLEASE CHECK YOUTUBE, BMW FORUMS AND CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS FILED 9/2015 AGAINS BMW, NA....

VEHICLE ENGINE (N63) LOSES POWER WHILE IN OPERATION AND GOES INTO A DRIVETRAIN FAILURE MODE REDUCING ENGING POWER SUBSTANTIALLY. THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM IN THE CAR. BMW IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HAS TAKEN THE CAR IN TO REPAIR IT 3 TIMES. THEY RECENLY PERFORMED A CUSTOMER CARE PROGRAM TO REMEDIATE THE PROBLEM. BUT IT OCCURRED AGIAN SHORTLY AFTER THET ATTEMPT. BMW MADE A RULING TODAY, THAT THEY WILL NOT BUYBACK MY CAR NOR OFFER ANY OTHER REMEDY. I SPECIFICALLY WANT THE NHTSA TO MAKE AN OFFICIAL RECALL OF THIS ENGINE AS IT IS NOT REPAIRED AFTER WIDESPREAD FAILURES FOR THIS SPECIFIC ENGINE.
