Anyone heard of this engine failure on N54 engine

Den tyske bilprodusenten BMW kaller inn nesten en halv million biler for å rette en feil som kan gi alvorlig motorskade.
VG følger

Bil og trafikk

Motorene på de berørte bilene har en svak skrue i sine sekssylindrede motorer.

Det dreier seg om rundt 489.000 biler, hvorav 390.000 er solgt i USA eller Kina, opplyste en talsmann for BMW fredag.

- I Norge er det noen få slike biler, anslagsvis mellom 40 og 50. Disse bilene vil også bli kalt inn for sjekk og eventuelt retting av feilen, sier Kjetil Myhre i BMWs norske avdeling til NTB.

Flere berørt

Bilene som er berørt, er av BMW-modellene 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, X3, X5, X6 og Z4 - noen av dem biler med prislapp som starter på over én million kroner.

Da VG testet X5 i januar, kalte vi den «Kongen av alle veier».

Ifølge BMW-talsmannen er det ikke meldt om ulykker forårsaket av motorfeilen.

Blir innkalt

- Eierne kan fortsette å kjøre i påvente av få svakheten fikset på verksted, sier han.

Men bilførere får beskjed om straks å få bilen inn til sjekk for mulig motorfeil, hvis varsellamper skulle begynne å blinke.

I had to test you a bit, so for those of you that didn't understand this, english version is below

The german carproducer BMW calls in almost half a million cars to correct errors that may cause serious damage to the engine.
VG (Norwegian newspaper) follows the case

Car and Traffic

The engines of the affected cars has a weak bolt in its six cylindred engine.

The number of affected cars is estimated to be approximately 489.000, where 390.000 is sold in either USA or China, says a spokesman for BMW friday.

-In Norway there are a few of these cars, between 40 and 50. These cars will be called in for a check and correction of the problem, says Kjetil Myhre in BMW's norwegian department to NTB.

More affected.

The cars that is affected is the BMW-models 1-series, 3-series, 5-series, 6-series, 7-series, X1, X3, X5, X6 and Z4 - Some of the with a pricetag of over 1 million NOK (about $170.000).

When VG tested the X5 in January, we called it "The king of all roads"

According to BMW-spokesman there has not been reported any accidents caused by this engine failure.

Will be called in.

The owners may continue driving as normal until they get called in to get the failure fixed at the workshop.

But the drivers are instructed to immediately bring the car for a checkfor possible engine failure if check engine light would start blinking.


Sorry for my bad english.

It's the Vanos housing in the N54 engine. Not N55.
