Wow. This is crazy. I have a 2012 X1 bought used from the BMW dealership here in Toronto in 2018. It had 82k on it, now has 111k. I’m hearing some whining / scraping sound when the car downshifts at low speed (40km/h or less) especially on cold start. I love the car. Have pampered it since buying used. Can’t believe a full engine replacement was required and that BMW didn’t own up to the engineering fault of the chain and components swallowed up in the engine. Needless to say, this thread has me super concerned. Any idea whether BMW in Canada has made the recall decision as of June?
I do notice it burning oil now, only while accelerating on the highway, sweating from the gasket cover. It’s plastic.
