Bmw 750 i xdrive 2011 --excessive engine oil consumption and or burning. The design of the valve stem seals is a major safety problem due to excessive oil consumption. The safety concerns are the following: 1) fire hazard. 2) property damage and personal injury 3) polluting the environment with excessive smoke 4) additional cost burden for consumers every time the vehicle is stationary and at the point of acceleration, the is a tremendous amount of smoke that is coming out of the tail pipe. The oil measure turn to low after just 2 weeks of adding oil to the engine. For the following reasons, bmw should be held accountable and be forced to repair the engineering design flaws in their engine that burn excessive amount of oil in a short amount of time. Consumer should not have to carry the cost burden of repairing this design flaws. As an owner, i am very disappointed in bmw

Since i bought this car in 2012, after warranty the car has constant breakdowns, i have spent >3500 dollars in last year, again got a message "drive train malfunction" about a week ago, took to dealer roadshow bmw in memphis, they said high fuel pump and plugs need to be replaced in about $1000, i agreed and left car, two days later they called that there is another 'plate leaking oil' and needs another $1000 repair. This was not there when i left the care. I called bmw customer service first time, about 6 months ago, with out help, and again yesterday. My car is in shop at dealer.I came to know that this fuel pump problem is very commonly reported in bmw but surprisingly company has not recalled it or accepting responsibility. This is a dangerous situation that could result in fatal accidents and injuries. Bmw should be held responsible for repairs and recalls and fixing these problems before fatal injuries occur. *tr
