Sadly, the storied history of the M diviion has been watered down- BMW has turned the M badge into a well calibrated profit center.... they used to turn the division loose on the production car. Now the M models are carefiully designed in, from the get go.
Not to say there isnt a real performance advantage there... that is undeniable. (BMW pried some $$$ out of the market by making an "M Sport" version- virtually no performance, hang some glossy bits, badges and bulges, and people think they are buying something "M". ) But this guy is a joke. I was reading another of his posts about removing the dash, wherein he claimed "I have the M version, so the parts in there are different"... I mean this guy has actually fallen for the hype in a really big way. ("even the M floor mats are faster"). It is pretty easy to know precisely what parts are different in the X5M, and it is far less than boosty feels the need to declare. And still waiting for him to tell us what the BMW preferred package actually is.... |

ard,
I think he means the ccp. Also, if he has another car to drive around, Why not get a n63? The n63 has more working parts and is more reliable than the less working parts n62. I think that makes perfect sense. Plus, Is there a n63tu? Can someone tell me why they modified the n63? It was just for more HP right? Thanks Last edited by byM5; 04-10-2018 at 12:04 PM. |

1. I wouldnt doubt it, just too much of a pussy to man up
2. CCP doesnt do half the stuff he claims. He is bloviating about stuff he doesnt comprehend. The core flaw the CCP corrected was a very significant mismatch in the flow rates of individual injectors. As a result, you could have one injector in a bank pouring gas into the engine, yet the banks' Air-fuel ratio looked OK. This cause cylinder wear AND fuel shear (the oil got thinner due to the fuel in the oil). This in turn lead to ENGINE WEAR. (oil shear, combined with stupid BMW oil change intervals) One early marker of engine wear is the timing chain, however EVERY other 'oil lubricated part' in that motor would wear. BMW figured out a way to estimate chain wear (aka 'stretch) and only replace the chains for the very worst. However all engines were likely damaged to some extent. By doing the CCP, BMW simply caught the issue prior to failure, but they absolutely did not fully repair all engines. The CCP did nothing for any other aspect of the failures you see in BMW V8S: oil leaks, coolant leaks, valve guide seals. Finally, of note- and on this I may be wrong...the N63 in the X6M was NOT afforded the CCP. There WERE engine failures in those cars, purportedly due to injector issues- but just too few of that model for BMW to be concerned with legal risk. How'd ya like to be one of those owners? |

Buy One
Definitely get one. But get a warranty. My Continental warranty has paid out $9,700 this year. Absolutely LOVE the car, just not all that reliable. At 50k, I've done front upper and lower control arms, two oil leaks, and had 4 injectors and coils replaced. The N63 is an engine I wouldn't want to own without a warranty, but I made the jump from an '07 to the same fully loaded '13 that you're looking at, and haven't looked back. The ride on the M-Sport wheels is pretty harsh, especially with RFTs, but other than that, it's everything I wanted my 48i to be.

At what point in life were you dropped on your head? I was actually agreeing with you till you start making false statements... Attack me all you want "ARD"(is that short for "Tard"?), but facts are facts. Try not to take it so hard. Need a hug? |
