Seriously, the S85 is one badass engine! Sure, it may not be perfect, but that sound wipes away any drawbacks that engine has! This gets me thinking how in alternate universe, imagine if BMW gave the S65/S85 duo another go with refreshed internals and a little bit of hybrid assistance. That would definitely be something special!
I’m not sure why you think engines receiving TUs means that they’re still bad? The injectors also haven’t been a problem since TU3 which is already almost 6 years old at this point. They still weren’t that failure prone before that. You’re just displaying signs of bias with more recent issues compared to the S85 being less prevalent now. The N63 doesn’t have anywhere near the reputation the S85 has.
There’s so many S85 memes, but never an N63 meme. At least the S85 makes good noise.
Never the S65 meme either. It’s the same engine (with same issues) with two fewer cylinders.

The S85 isn’t even that bad. The N62/63 is total junk across the board.
The N63TU3 is a force of nature.
Calling it junk means…you don’t know.
I’m literally a bmw master tech. That shit engine pretty much paid for my old 135i in its entirety.
but go on about how amazing the THIRD technical update is 🤡

We’re still replacing a shit ton of them under warranty. Our TSE says another recall similar to the CCP recall is in the works.
