2022年7月17日 · There was a class action lawsuit that saw BMW settle with OG N63 owners, as well as BMW introducing revised variants of the N63 under the TU badge. TU engines are significantly better than the OG N63s. Ideally, if you're looking at a V8 powered BMW, try and find one with a TU engine. Only get a N62 if you are after BMWs of yesteryear.

2020年2月7日 · The issues with N62 are commonly valve stem failure and most electronic issues like sensors & etc. other than that super reliable engine. My 750li (n62) has 240k miles and runs strong! The n63 as well is a great engine but it requires a little more attention as in oil changes every 4000 miles. other than that the engine is also a beast.

The one major cooling system issue is the coolant pipe that runs the center of the block. Coolant pipe on the cheap side is 1200-1500 and done the BMW way 5-7k. The coolant pipe is not as common as on the OG N62. Transmission is good for 150-200k miles properly maintained. All that being said though they are one of the toughest engines BMW made.

2015年9月8日 · Done my research on the N62.. alternator bracket gasket, valley coolant tube and valve stem seals being the biggest problems that I can find.. mechatronic seals on the autos, as well. Don't so much mind the wrenching as the parts seem to be pretty inexpensive, just incredibly labor intensive (alternator bracket gasket job I would most want to ...

2023年10月11日 · The N62 in the 545i doesn’t have an oil cooler and the ports are blocked by a bracket with a tiny gasket sandwiched between it and the block. The bracket has the alternator bolted to it. It’s a decent sized job, but can be done DIY somewhat easily using the driver side wheel area for access.

2022年2月5日 · Great post. The N62 has a bad reputation based only on valve stems. The engine is strong otherwise. I would say it is best N/A BMW V8. Plenty of examples over 200k, unlike the N63. I’ve had the valve stem issue for quite some time, using oil additive and it …

2020年9月25日 · Thinking about getting an F10 550i. How does the N63 compare to the N62? My N62 never gave me any issues in the year that I owned it, at 105k miles. How does a 2011 550i with about 87k miles sound? At around $12k, it sounds like a steal. I’m a bit worried. I heard some bad things about N63 reliability. Is it really that much worse than the N62?

2021年12月24日 · They've been an issue forever. I remember replacing these under warranty when they were new. Every N62 will need a replacement eventually. My X5 started acting up around 120k. It will eventually get worse to where it'll misfire constantly. The damage will be from it misfiring, not the actual worn levers.
