What about LCI cars with the N63TU(second edition), are they also as unreliable? Have you heard about the engine being replaced, or the burning oil issue still present with the new one?
Many thanks!

Just by casually reading the threads, my sense is that some early (2013) N63Tu engines burned some oil. What I can tell you for sure is that my 2015 at 35,000 miles burns no oil at all. The measurement gauge in iDrive is graduated in several steps between the MAX and MIN lines, each step representing part of a quart. Mine never moves off the MAX line between oil changes in mostly city driving, and I just got back from a 2,300 mile road trip, most of it at about 90 mph. In addition to not burning oil, I have all the records for the car, and nothing forward of the firewall has ever been done to it. Zero engine issues of any kind.
