Xdrive oil starvation

DogBear · 06-04-2024, 01:47 PM

Is there anything for the xdrive N55 like the RWD N55 has for pumping more oil into the engine? I can’t seem to find anything other than adding an extra quart of oil.

I too could not find anything. The pans are clearly a different shape and hopefully not subject to the same issues.

I am running an extra quart of oil and change the oil and filter after a few track days to keep things running smoothly. Several track days in and no issues so far.

Wish I had something more scientific to share but so far so good as they say.

Been reading lately that Xdrive cars don't have this issue. Ironic indeed.
