awesome! thank you! Can you send pics of your leak?

@@nikosougias1298 Where would you want me to send them? I just had the leak looked at at my shop and they said it was the bell-housing --not the oil return. I thought I'd be relieved, but honestly, fixing the bell-housing leak is WAY more expensive. The whole trans has to drop out. fml.

@@patryk996 send to Niko@charliesforeigncar.com

is there a way to wrap the stuff with exhaust heat wrap? considering a 750i in the future i have a 2007 with the n62 and honestly other than gaskets going every once in awhile its not a bad unit

@@anthonyk Getting more cooling air to the turbos would be the answer. Extracting the heat, rather than insulating it.

@@anthonyk the N62 is better than the N63, at least you will have space unlike the N63 which is a bigger engine with shit tightly packed.

Yeah….discontinuing since never considering they are pumping out V8’s constantly still in 2022. Misinformed right here. Check out the N63TU3 being sold right now worldwide by the thousands. Yeah….discontinuing alright lol NOT

Ford did the same thing with the 6.7 PS

Mitsubishi cast a series of 12 and 16 cylinder turbo diesel 40 years ago that were very reliable. BMW just cast grenades when they made those p.o.s.

sorry i’m 2 years late, but that 3700 was for the N63’s not the N63TU(2014- newer)

Stick with the I6 in either car.

Hello Majdi, sorry for the late reply. BMW makes this slightly confusing. Let me see if I can clear it up. The N63 is a Engine: It's a twin turbo V8, made from 2008 until present. The F13 is a chassis model, NOT a engine. The F13 is a 3rd generation 6 series BMW that was made from 2011-2017, the F13 also means it was a 2 door coupe, the F12 is the same year and body chassis as the F13 except the F12 is a 2 door convertible. The F06 is again the same year as F12 and F13 except it's a 4 door. It starts getting muddier when you look at something like E63 compared to N63. The E63 is a chassis, NOT a engine. The E63/64 was made from 03-10, it's the second generation 6 series, either in coupe form or the later convertible. The N63 is a engine. The F13 is a car. The e63/64 is a car. hope this clears things up.

It is routinely misdiagnosed as a rear main seal. The fix requires replacing all the turbo feed lines (oil actually cakes up inside of them), the coolant feed hoses, and all subsequent gaskets for the exhaust manifolds, and turbos. I also include the crankcase breather hoses, and the turbo inlet ducts which are routinely cracked as well.

Hi Kevin, yes Lynx Star is correct. The turbo return lines leak into the valley, and run out the back side and down the rear main seal. So if you don't know what your looking for, someone will misdiagnose it as a bad crank seal. You have to look down between the many heat shields to verify this. Sorry I'm late to the party.

@@fixingcars would it be easier to replace engine i have 2011 750lixdrive w 179k love the car starting to leak badly

@@kevinsetzer4346 what did u do...I have near same mileage

Well said. Running a thermostat with a lower opening temperature will help to increase the lifespan of the engine but that won't nevessarily stop the problems.

did you go for it mate?

Hello Keoki, I just called BMW. For a 2012 550i, BMW North America has 18 engines ready for shipment at $3,723.93. What is the last 7 digits of your vin and I can check for you and get you a part number. Where are you located?

Charlie's Foreign Car Service Last 7 of vin are DV59430 and am in Austin Tx. Car is a 2012 550i

Charlie's Foreign Car Service save one of those engines for me just purchased 2013 650i I’m also in austin Texas.

keoki1978 650i Austin Texas as well

@@fixingcars Hi Guys, I'm looking for a N63 for a 2011 X5 50i - can you advise if BMW North America still has them available for around this price please?

Hello from Encinitas!

Not well versed in this motor I take it. They put out a lot more power at a better fuel economy, lighter and more reliable. Why would any fool do such a swap.

@@MrThisIsMeToo BMW more reliable???.........

@@jackmehoff1840 😂😂😂

Cary Coller they do. This was one bad engine.

@@Supremxcyxi so in your opinion I'm safe to buy a 2009 to 2014 BMW 7 series with the twin turbo V8? Because I'm afraid the turbos will fail on me. I've been looking for a failure rate on those engines but I can't the data.

​@@carycoller3140 Turbos are the least of your problems, the N63 issues have been blown a little out of proportion. Just type in the vin of the bmw you are looking at and it will tell you if the recalls have been performed or not (www.bmwusa.com/safety-and-emission-recalls.html) If they have been done you should be fine, along with the proper maintenance being done like oil changes, fluid top offs, brakes, etc. For this particular model it varies from car to car and how well the owner took care of it, but if you do your research like looking at service history, you should be fine. But this is all just one person's opinion and you are welcome to believe what you want.

Also, in 2012 BMW started releasing an updated N63 which can be determined by if the engine has a black cover (try to stay away from N63s w/ the gray cover as they’re the most problematic.) In addition the N63TU came out in 2014 which fixed almost all of the problems with the N63, so if you’re looking at ~late 2013 and above it’s likely N63TU.

@@Supremxcyxi good information. I appreciate it. Thanks.

Saw a young buck driving a 2 to 3 year old top dog M6. His 4 ways were on and dark grey smoke pouring out of the exhaust. I did the same to my S type R Jag 12 years ago. Safe to say their far from bulletproof yet!

Ive contacted bmw said they cant do anything about my engine issue because i have 120,000 miles and supposedly had a customer care package already done to my replace valve seals,injectors in veh..but it was still leaking oil and messed up rod bearing and main bearings :/

Rodrigo Cardenas I have the same car and BMW replaced mine last month.

@@Truebleux Really how many miles you have on it and what was the issue? Did you have the customer care package done to it before having your engine replaced?

@@Truebleux Do you have BMW reps name,mine is Carlos Castillo and he's no good. Im in desperate help bro if you can get me your BMW rep contact info would be greatly appreciated!

Rodrigo Cardenas I had 68k miles on it and mine was smoking but even if it wasn’t, all N63 engines are involved in this class action lawsuit. Just go to your local BMW dealership (not corporate) and tell them you want your engine serviced via the class action lawsuit. They’ll search your vin and see if you are eligible. If you aren’t eligible, it’s because someone alrdy serviced the engine but they’ll have a record of that too. Whatever u do though, dont go to BMW corporate. You wanna go to a local bmw dealer as they will bill BMW corporate for the labor/work which makes them money.

I'd like to argue that, my x6m is giving me fits
