I am a major complainer of the lack of the soft close trunk. I have a '14 650 coupe Sport Edition. Don't count on it showing up on the '16 unless they redesign the over-engineered rear camera, which I seriously doubt. |

Drivetrain Malfunction, cylinder #6 misfire
Hi everyone, hoping to get some advice and insight on the infamous drivetrain malfunction on the 2013 Gran Coupe, 650. I experience it only on longer trips and so far it has always been on cylinder #6. The company has replaced the gas pedal, spark plugs, reprogrammed the ECU, the ACC module and they seem to have no idea what is causing the issue. Has anyone successfully fixed their malfunction? Are your issues cylinder misfires too? Love to hear from you. I am in the process if seeing if BMW will repurchase the vehicle because they seem to have no idea what is wrong. Help please...

Never saw it occur with my car but then gave it up for an M car in 6 mos of ownership so don't know. Good luck with repair/dealership repurchase..that one may be a hard sell.

Drivetrain Malfunction
Thank-you both for writing, I appreciate it. I am surprised that BMW doesn't have a fix for this yet. I have noticed owners of the 550 and the x50 also complain about a similar issue. For me I worry that the malfunction will occur right when I need the power (passing one a 2 lane road or while in heavy traffic).

http://www.roadandtrack.com/car-cult...ns-bmw-n63-v8/ I did a lot of readings about the car, and one article mentioned that BMW admitted to the flaw in N63 design which is why they came up with customer care package program. I love F06 GC and was hoping to get another. But, it was a pain while owning it, and BMW doesn't seem to have a good solution beside this CCP. Also, dealers weren't that helpful and was giving me bs instead of fixing the problem. Good luck! |

Another Drivetrain Malfunction
Thanks for writing in - just bought a new battery - now I know why! The car is back at the dealership with another Drivetrain Malfunction. Same symptoms...rough running engine - check engine light. Last time the spark plugs were replaced - clearly not the issue. I don't think BMW has a clue what is wrong....

I was considering a 650i, but this has now put me off.
I'm now going to go for the 640d M-Sport RWD, which is available in Europe (I'm not sure if you guys have it in the USA?) Sunny. |

I have a 2014 650i coupe N63TU, has not had one issue in 13 months now, and has not even need to be topped off with oil between changes.. All MFG's have some bad eggs, it's really just about statistics in the end. Thank goodness for lemon laws!

Drivetrain Malfunction is a known issue, not fixable
Thank-you again for all writing in. My 650i GC has now been in 3 times for repair since I purchased it on April 22nd. A special centralized engineering team for BMW is involved since the dealer cannot identify what is causing cylinder 6 and cylinder 3 to misfire. The engineering team in charge of technical repair in the US issued this statement: BMW is aware of a known issue with the 650i where cylinders 6 and 3 will fail under certain circumstances, there is no known repair at this time and replacing parts will not impact the issue. For me, this issue only surfaces after long drives over 70mph. Has anyone else experienced this? From my understanding, nearly every 650 will have these two cylinders shut down during a long trip.

N63tu has known cylinder issues, unable to be repaired
The 2012 4.4 liter v8 is called the N63 engine. That engine has an available CCP (customer care package) available if you take it in to BMW. It has some known problems with longevity, this the care package. In 2013 they updated the engine to be called the N63TU, the TU stands for technical update. This engine has the known issue where cylinder 6 and 3 fail on long drives. According to BMW engineers, there is no known fix. This engine will experience this failure in all models, the 6 series, 5 series, 7 series X5 and X6. In 2013 BMW became aware of the issue, it could happen just a few minutes after startup. Instead of placing a recall, they came up with a computer update and flashed the ECU. Instead of it happening in short distances, it now only happens after or during long drives. Since most owners don't drive in excess of a few hundred miles a day, they will not experience it. However, take a drive across the country and you will likely have both cylinders fail. I wish more people would bring this to BMW's attention, along with the NHTSA - so an appropriate recall can be done. BMW knowingly sells this motor and is fully aware of this defect. I am not sure if the N63 also has it...it doesn't matter if it has AWD or just rear wheel drive. My car is Xdrive.....

Likewise I have never needed to add oil between changes. Car now has 45,000 kms (nearly 30,000 miles) and runs perfectly. My only complaint was the RF tires which have been replaced with Michelin PSS.

Got it to the dealer, first time they could not find anything, the second time in they found misfire faults for cylinder 3 and 6, they said they installed a cable tie to secure the fuel rail pressure sensor harness. Did not take a long trip since, so i am very curious what the hell is going on with it. I have the 14 650i with the "updated" engine |
