BMW oil consumption problem? You should contact a lemon lawyer, or your rights may be waived soon

BMW AG and BMW North America LLC have reportedly agreed to settle a class action lawsuit alleging the N63 engine in some of its vehicles caused excessive oil consumption. These cases could be very good lemon law cases — meaning California buyers or lessees could get all or most all of their money back, and the vehicle branded as a lemon.

The proposed BMW engine defect settlement will resolve a class action lawsuit filed by plaintiff Joon Bang and others in September 2015. They accuse BMW of concealing a defect in its N63 engines that allegedly causes vehicles to consume excessive amounts of oil and drain vehicle batteries.

Class Members of the proposed BMW settlement include anyone in the United States who purchased or leased a model year 2009 through 2014 BMW 5 Series, 6 Series, 7 Series, X5 or X6 vehicle with an N63 engine.

Under the terms of the proposed BMW engine defect settlement, Class Members are entitled to a free battery and $75 per oil service for up to three future oil changes. They will also be provided with a voucher worth $1,000 to $1,500 off a new BMW vehicle.

Some drivers may be eligible for reimbursement for expenses related to the battery and oil consumption issues, if they are able to provide receipts or other documentation of the costs. Drivers who meet specific conditions may be able to recoup at least some of the expenses they faced to replace the vehicle engine after multiple repair attempts.
