This is for a vehicle I am looking to purchase, build is 03/19 - it would give me peace of mind to see oil pump issue has been taken care of.

Enter the VIN of the vehicle in the this NHTSA link...https://www.nhtsa.gov/ to uncover any unrepaired recalls on the vehicle.

Click on the "Learn More" link for details on the vehicle i.e. the # of recalls, description of recalls and other info.

FYI, if the vehicle FW (ilevel) has been updated to S18A-21-03-567 or higher, then the recall affecting the oil pump has been completed. See attached for the details on this specific recall.

Even then I'm more worried about them reflashing the car and having to pay to get my ecu reunlocked. Apparently abnormally high oil pressure is another symptom so maybe run a log with your flasher and see if that's also there.

On a b58, what would you call abnormally high oil pressure? Anything over 80-85 psi?

This is not an attempt to answer your question, but are you able to perform an oil level measurement after the engine is warm?

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.

Mine also hovers around 80 psi at WOT.

So never hits 90-100-110 psi? Is this an full throttle? What do you see when driving normally?

The datalog I posted was a full throttle run through gears 1-3. I don't think i've ever seen it go past 90 psi. It's usually around 35-60 psi just driving normally.

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.
