4.8is Recall

[broknlgs24]

is there an engine recall on the 4.8is?
this morning, i let my girlfriend take my 4.6is
to work. upon exiting the X5, someone approached
her and asked her if she ever had any issues w/ it.
being that it wasn't hers, she really couldn't answer.
well, this guy goes on to tell her of all the problems
he had w/ his previous 4.6is and because of the issues,
he traded up to the 4.8is. to make a long story short,
he told her that he's sick of all the problems w/ his 4.8is
and wants to get rid of it. he said that they had a recall
on it and that BMW replaced the engine. has anyone
heard of such a recall?

Nothing listed here. Maybe it was his idea of a pickup line.

Some 4.8is made between 04/2004 and 07/2004 had the DME recall. That's all I have heard of 4.8is recall and I have a 2005.

a close friend of mine, whos a BMW dealership mechanic, told me about cam bearing failure in early production 2004 X5 4.8is, thus the recal that guy is probably talking about.......
