This has several key benefits including guaranteeing
oil flow even when the car is subjected to extreme lateral acceleration, preventing «
oil surge», which allows the
engine to operate more efficiently while the lack of an
oil pan allows the
engine mounted lower, lowering the car's center of gravity and improving handling.
It provides a quicker
oil flow to critical parts of the vehicle resulting in faster starts and better overall
engine protection over a wide variety of temperatures - more stability under a wide range of temperature conditions
Thus it contributes to the high power output, by requiring less power from the
engine and doesn't require a bypass to divert excess
flow; this helps avoid excess
oil temperatures and
oil foaming.
In December 2014, BMW North America released a voluntary recall («Customer Care Package») relating to issues with timing chain stretch, fuel injectors, mass air
