BMW M3 And M4 Recalled As Driveshaft May Fall Out

Which is never good.

BMW is currently in the midst of dealing with a massive recall of 1.6 million vehicles for a potential fire risk. Even though it was nowhere near the same level of danger, the German automaker also issued a recall for the fuel pump on 846 M5 models. Now, BMW is facing yet another recall on a few of its high-performance M models.

The problem affects 2,661 examples of the 2016 to 2017 M3 and M4 - including the rarified M4 GTS - built between March 2 and September 30, 2016. Of the 2,661 affected cars, 1,456 are M3 sedans, 936 are M4 coupes, and 269 are M4 convertibles. BMW reportedly built fewer than 800 M4 GTS coupes and no specific breakdown of how many were affected by this recall has been announced.

The recall will replace the driveshaft, which can potentially disconnect and leave the car without power. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, “the connection between the driveshaft and the flange may fail, resulting in a loss of propulsion.”

The issue has been pinpointed to faulty driveshaft flanges, which do not hold up in the long term as well as they should. When the flange is forced to take the brunt of a 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six pumping out over 400 lb-ft of torque, it's no surprise it would fail if it isn't properly connected to the driveshaft.

Of course, fixing the issue will be done free of charge and will require BMW to replace the entire driveshaft. This cannot be cheap for BMW but thankfully the issue is contained to just a few thousand vehicles and not several million. The recall is set to begin on December 3, so owners should receive a notice by then. If you have already had the driveshaft replaced, BMW will reimburse you for the expense.

2018 BMW M5 Recalled Because Of Faulty Fuel Gauges

Who buys a BMW M5 for its economy anyway?

Let’s face it, nobody buys a BMW M5 for its economy. After all, the all-new F90 model is a 600-hp super sedan with a thirsty twin-turbo V8. Why are we even talking about the BMW M5’s fuel economy, you may ask? Because a fault has been discovered that may deceive you into thinking BMW’s super sedan is more economical than it really is.

Specifically, the issue relates to the fuel level sensor in certain 2018 BMW M5s. According to a recall notice issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the fuel level sensor in the fuel tank may become stuck against an in-tank fuel line, causing the fuel gauge to display an inaccurate amount of fuel. This could lead to the car stalling and increase the risk of a crash, though BMW isn’t aware of any related accidents or injuries. This is the second time the new BMW M5 has been recalled in just a few months.

To fix the issue, dealers will secure the in-tank fuel line to prevent the fuel line from contacting the sensor free of charge. In total, 1,645 examples of the 2018 BMW M5 are being recalled in the US, with the campaign starting on September 10. While the fault is clearly a potential safety hazard that obviously needs to be fixed as soon as possible, most BMW M5 buyers are more concerned about the performance than the fuel economy.

Under the hood is a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 that produces 591 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque through an eight-speed automatic transmission. Power is sent to all four wheels as standard, but the new M5 can also be switched to rear-wheel drive at the push of a button. 0-62 mph takes 3.4 seconds before the German super sedan tops out at 155 mph, but the optional M Driver’s increases that figure to 190 mph.

V12-Powered BMW 7 Series Recalled In US

The owners of which are in a very exclusive club.

It’s not every day you see a BMW 7 Series on the road, let alone one with a big V12 engine. That’s because V12 models are built in relatively low numbers because, well, they’re very expensive and most 7 Series buyers have no need for so many cylinders. But like any vehicle, problems can occur. BMW has just issued a recall in coordination with the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration for certain 2013-2015 760Li sedans.

The 760Li is the predecessor (F01 generation) to the current M760i xDrive, which launched for 2017. To give you an idea just how rare this particular 7 Series trim and engine combo are, only three examples are affected by the recall.

That’s right. Three. What’s the problem, exactly? The engine’s ECU was not programmed properly when the three sedans in question were brought in for a previous service. This faulty programming could potentially cause the car to stall, potentially increasing the risk of a crash. The engine itself is the 6.6-liter twin-turbo V12 with 536 hp and 550 lb-ft of torque. It also happens to be BMW’s first turbocharged V12.

Fortunately, nothing was mentioned in the recall about other BMW Group vehicles that utilized other versions of the same engine (N74), such as the Rolls-Royce Ghost, Dawn, and Wraith that come powered by the B66 variant.

For the three affected BMW 760Li owners living in the US, the automaker will presumably notify them right away because, well, it won’t take long to do so. The reprogrammable fix is probably simple enough and can be done in only a few hours’ time.

But if you are a 760Li owner and you want to be safe rather than sorry, you can contact the NHTSA safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 to confirm the VIN. After all, you wouldn’t want to be seen struggling to start your big, expensive Bimmer.
