Hi. I’d like to point out I have not had an incident YET thankfully. However, I want to highlight that the early M340i production releases (2019 and 2020) are HIGHLY likely to experience catastrophic engine failure due to an oil pump being made of plastic on some models. Of the 20 or so complaints listed under this vehicle on NHTSA, I’ve already seen PLENTY of complaints regarding this issue and people actually experiencing this issue.

My vehicle doesn’t read the oil level since the fuel pump that BMW used to manufacture the car is made out of plastic material. There has been hundred of complaints about the same issue with the oil pump not working properly due to the fact that BMW used plastic instead of metal etc. I would like for the NHTSA to take a look at this issue and please consider making it a recall for the users that are having this “Oil Pump” issue please thank you.

I cruised on a city street at the speed limit. The light turned red and I came to a full stop. The start/stop system was activated and the engine “stopped” to conserve power while my foot was on the brake. The light turned green and I took my foot off the brake, the engine failed to start and did not start with countless attempts. Digital cluster and CarPlay proceeded to work, exterior lights work. Called a tow to the nearest BMW dealership for assistance.

Car will not measure oil past 20%. Seems like lots of 2020 models have a faulty production oil pump. Car is now out of warranty and dealer charged $5000 to fix the issue but do not know 100% if oil pump replacement will fix it. BMW changed the oil pump in the later models but did not mention anything about any recalls or replacements. Unacceptable.

I am unable to read the oil level in my 2020 M340i. Upon checking the oil pressure, the oil pressure goes above 45psi which is the cutoff for the measurement check. Under heavy acceleration, the oil pressure will go over 90psi. My car needs the oil pump to be replaced. The plastic ring surrounding the oil pump for variable oil pressure will crack and lead to a high oil pressure scenario, eventually leading to catastrophic engine damage. BMW has refused to acknowledge this even though they instal

Oil pump manufacturing fault. One of the internal components on the oil pump for these B58 engines contains a ring that is made of plastic. Due to its the nature of this type of material, when it is heated and cooled, over time it becomes brittle and cracks. Damage to this internal component is leading to oil pump failure, and eventually engine failure. There is no recall on this yet, which is highly concerning. Basically my oil pump is a ticking time bomb waiting to fail, and BMW refuses to ad

The starter malfunctioned causing electrical damage to the motor and related components. Although there is literature that exists that this is a potential problem for this vehichle, BMW refuses to fix the problem and is asking me to pay. My warranty is expired by 4 months, but I have only 37,800 miles. The fact that there are 105K vehicles with this potential problem is evidence that this problem exists. They should be paying for what is an obvious manufacturer defect.
