2018 Bmw X5 Engine Problems

After restarting your X5 and driving at low speed, you noticed black smoke coming from the exhaust pipes. A mechanic diagnosed that the EGR cooler and intake manifold had failed and needed replacement. BMW said your vehicle's VIN isn't covered under recall 18V755000, even though your car experienced the same failure the recall addresses. The repair will involve replacing the EGR cooler and intake manifold components.

Your dashboard displays a low coolant warning message while driving. A mechanic diagnosed that your intake manifold is cracked and your EGR valve cooler is defective, both of which need replacement to fix the coolant leak.

The repair involves replacing the cracked intake manifold and the defective EGR cooler.

Your engine compartment is making unusual noises and your check engine light is on. A dealer diagnosed that your thermostat is stuck open, which damaged your transmission oil cooler and is causing the warning light. You'll need to replace the thermostat and coolant pump to fix this issue.

The AC compressor catastrophically failed and sent metal throughout the AC system. I will have to auction the vehicle and try to get some money from the vehicle to buy another car. I doubt that I will still have the vehicle by the end of August 2024. Because my vehicle is a plug-in-hybrid and AC lines run through it, the check engine light came on because the electric drive could not function properly. It was 90+ degrees outside and thus inside the car, and a good portion of the power to drive my car wasn't available since the electrical drive was affected. The problem was diagnosed by our local BMW dealer. Their analysis is sent via video messages. While I doubt you will be allowed to view it for corporate safety standards, the URL for the video they sent is [XXX] . I also saved a screen grab video but it is too large to send. Just the BMW dealership. The cost to repair is approximately $18,000. There was no warning. Shortly after the AC stopped cooling the check engine light came on and it appeared that my car stopped using the electric drive. This problem (catastrophic AC compressor failure) appears to have occurred in several other BMW models and model years. The only recommended fix is an extremely costly replacement of every AC line in the entire car system (engine, cabin, hybrid battery in my car's case).
