I am, at all times. I’m hearing the whirring sound you mentioned in one of your posts. Mine is a 2021 m340i, so oil pump was never a concern. Struggling with dealers as they want to see the engine light or an idrive message before they take me seriously. My oil pressure psi hits 110 at times (at 1800-6000 rpms ) which I’ve communicated and find odd but I’m not sure what the normal range is. Other posters have indicated up to 83 psi on full throttle.

If your over 100psi I would definitely consider a pump change, the pump has a plastic surround and the more psi that is put on it than it was designed for, the more likely you’ll have a catastrophic oil pump failure.

Even though mine is a 2021, this is also what I’m leaning towards, an oil pump issue. Will test out a friend’s G20, have my Indy mechanic friend take a look and then go back to BMW. Right now they don’t want to touch it since there’s no engine light on. Thank you for the info and tips.

There’s an ever-present whirring/whining sound that others have described previously that follows RPMs after engine is at operating temp. I’ve had to top off twice since my last oil change. 2L (2 qt) about 3 months / 6700 km/4100 mi when Idrive told me to. Then another top off of 2L when dealer dropped all the oil, measured and saw I was missing 2L. Dealer mentioned idrive never displayed a message. That top off was 1900 Km / 1200 mi AFTER second one. So 4L added in 5300 miles. I’m actually speaking to shop foreman who’s been courteous. None of this is normal. It’s all heading to an oil pump replacement unless there’s some type of catastrophe by then. And recently these error codes appeared for first time BUT I’ve never had a CEL even once:
What’s worse, I AM able to read my oil level. It has never failed. No loss of power experienced. So I’m thinking the oil pump is getting worse and whining. Some oil level sensor is partially working since idrive didn’t detect missing oil. I’ve contacted BMW Canada asking for assistance to free dealer up to run full diagnostics and repairs. Because right now, their next step is to measure the oil on the next oil change in 8000Km/5000mi. Best of all… several dealers barraging me to offload my lease because there’s a shortage of m340is on the market. What a mess Last edited by stunatu72; 05-04-2024 at 01:57 PM.. |

Have a 2020 as well and have the same symptom. The annoying part was I literally found out about the oil pump failure issue with these cars a month after my BMW warranty ran out and was stressing until I realized I have 3rd party warranty.
So now I’m taking advantage of it and replacing my oil pump, sensor and a whole bunch of other stuff, maybe even a new stock turbo because we found a lot of excess oil on the charge pipe post turbo. The car will be feeling like new and looking new in the engine bay (I think the valve cover gasket are going bad too)

I know this has probably been answered, but what are the main symptoms of the oil pump going out? Mine is a 2/2020 production only recall I found when I checked via VIN was for Brake Assist which I haven't done since my DME is unlocked and don't want them to update. Sitting at 55K miles, been using 0W-30 for majority of the cars life. Been tuned since early on as well.
