Michael. 2313 Report post Posted March 13, 2012 Blame the accountants! A friend of my dads had one of these, 2002 745i and the motor had a major oil problem at 45k kms a few years back, needed a replacement engine. Apparently it was a quality fault, and not a maintenance issue. Not good! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Greg111 13 Report post Posted March 14, 2012 E65 wasn't BMWs best work that's for sure, the N62 lets the model down due to excessive oil leaks. Can't say i've witnessed ECU failures though, this is an Australian telling the story. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
