BMW N63 recall package in Europe- being dumped on by BMW
Discussion
I am trying to sell my 2009 750LI, I am pretty much the cheapest in mainland Europe where I live. I am really fed up because 3 times now when someone has been interested, they get the VIN number only be told by BMW to stay away from that piece of crap engine.
More about the case on this wiki link if you are not familiar with it below. Basically in The States they have had a recall without actually calling it a recall but in Europe the response that I got from BMW today is that they do not recognize this.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_N63#BMW_N63_Cust...
My question is if there are any lawyers here, does this not set a precedence seeing as the cars are made in the same factories, the engine numbers are the same etc?
Also they will not publicly admit liability for these issues publicly but if I push them privately with a court case am I going to get any better response.

Legally, a vehicle recall is only for problems affecting safety.
"BMW of North America has recognized a number of N63 components with high failure rates, including timing chains that stretch and snap, leaking crankcase ventilation and fuel lines, and malfunctioning fuel injectors, mass airflow sensors, and vacuum pumps. Rather than waiting for them to break, BMW NA is proactively replacing the parts with improved components through its shrewdly named Customer Care Package, or CCP. This is not a recall, because recalls address vehicle safety. Instead, BMW says, the CCP represents its "commitment to the long-term reliability of our most technologically advanced products." It is undeniably a good customer service move."

Yes shocking isn't it "BMW of North America has recognized a number of N63 components with high failure rates, including timing chains that stretch and snap, leaking crankcase ventilation and fuel lines, and malfunctioning fuel injectors, mass airflow sensors, and vacuum pumps.

After some advice of how to proceed without getting bogged down in negative energy and a court case that would be more trouble than it was worth.My day job is making sites rank in google, I was thinking of maybe using some "class action lawsuit" sign up for Europeans or something to motivate BMW in the right direction.
