The automobile could instantly lose oil pressure and cause a lot of motor damage if the drive shaft separates from the rotor in the engine oil pumps. This may take place in the car, according to BMW.

Followers have currently reported some motor failure in the car, according to Torque News.

All automobiles were built between July and September 2012 if they are impacted M5 and M6 designs. The motor in the affected automobiles is a S63TU turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 with 501lb-ft of torque and 560 hp.

It is not known how many vehicles are impacted presently, but the VIN numbers are being compiled by the car manufacturers.

Listening to from it as an owner

Any person who has not received an automobile yet has been asked to have patience while those who do have their new car have been asked not to drive them until the issue is fixed. BMW is calling all Houston, BMW and other dealerships throughout the country to let them know not to sell any more of the designs.

All owners should be informed of the effort by mid-October, according to BMW. Those who already have possession of impacted automobiles will have it towed to a dealership via flatbed tow truck, at the automakers' expense.


Patience needed

The automaker has to produce a new batch of auto oil pumps before it can move forward, according to Torque News, because it has also told dealerships not to order any more parts at this time. Owners are likely going to have to wait quite a long time before their $100,000 automobiles are up and running again if this is the case.

A formal recall has not actually been given by the NHTSA yet.
