    oil leaks

    Bob Magown replied to Bob Magown's topic in BMW 5 Series Forum
    This car has been serviced regularly between dealer (water pump, air conditioning, wiring harness when mice got into engine compartment and damaged wiring) and local mechanic (oil changes, brakes, tires, valve cover gaskets, etc.) so while mileage is low it has been serviced consistently.

    oil leaks

    Bob Magown replied to Bob Magown's topic in BMW 5 Series Forum
    These repairs are beyond my ability to perform and are quite expensive even with my local mechanic, especially the turbo repair. Not sure what I am going to do at this point as investing more money into repairs might not be a good investment. I am just disappointed with the extent of the oil leaks in a car with less than 100K.

    oil leaks

    Bob Magown posted a topic in BMW 5 Series Forum
    I have a 2016 535xi with 93K miles and have had a series of oil leaks that are plaguing my car. I have replaced the valve cover gaskets and am now being told that the oil filter canister is leaking (apparently a common problem) and now the turbo is leaking. the turbo is a very expensive repair. For a car with less than 100k miles this seems extreme. Has anyone else experienced these problems? Bob
