I'm no engineer lol 😂, I just change the oil a lot. That I know can't be a bad thing.
BMW has been fighting with the N63 throughout its life. With this engine there's no exact science. Sadly.
Agreed, that's pretty much the story with a long list of BMW V8's, always chasing something. I had an engine swap with the Nikasil Ausili issue in my '93 7 series. Great original engine except US gas ate away at the block!
