2020 Bmw M340i Complaints

EXHIBITING SIGNS OF NOT BEING ABLE TO READ OIL LEVELS WHICH IS A POTENTIAL SIGN OF OIL PUMP FAILURE DUE TO PLASTIC INTERNAL COMPONENTS THAT HAS OCCURED IN 2020 MODELS.

I am reporting a safety concern involving BMW vehicles equipped with the B58 Technical Update (B58TU) engine, commonly found in model years 2019–2021. These vehicles utilize a variable-displacement engine oil pump containing an internal thermoplastic adjusting component responsible for regulating oil pressure. Field failures are increasingly being reported in which this internal component fractures, resulting in sudden loss or instability of engine oil pressure. The failure frequently occurs during cold-start operation in low ambient temperatures. When the component fails, oil pressure regulation becomes erratic or is lost entirely. In many cases, drivers receive little or no actionable warning prior to engine damage or vehicle disablement. Reported precursor symptoms include inability to electronically measure engine oil level, abnormal oil pressure behavior, or sudden drivetrain malfunction warnings. Failures may rapidly progress to engine shutdown or severe mechanical damage caus...

Oil pump in B58 BMW engines 2019-2022 has been a major safety concern that results in catastrophic failure while driving the vehicle. All because of BMW using a plastic component and quietly changed it, meanwhile hundreds of people had a major oil leak and engine seizures on hwy and $5k+ repairs.

Oil pump is made of plastic causing it to fail after a certain time and can lead to a total engine loss if not swapped out with BMW’s updated oil pump. They are aware of the issue but neglecting to handle the problem.
