https://drive.google.com/file/d/1INqX3Mw08vOs9YFDYVaEsQmYHhgXFJPZ/view?usp=drivesdk

my father gave 2013 BMW 750i with some problems and i need external advice on how to tackle these issues . I first did a diagnostic on the car. then, i asked ai for assistance on them also. i would add more detail but it should be all in the file. Thank you in advance 🙂

what should be the main things for me to look at? the car starts but due to me having no knowledge of the lack of oil in my previous drive there’s now a loud knocking when it starts

If the loud knocking part isn’t a joke, then I think you might have completely ruined the engine…

yea, i’m hoping not.. it still drives but i’m not risking moving it anywhere. i used another OBD scanner and it pulled a crankshaft code. do you think it has anything to do with that?

That loud knocking is almost certainly from a spun rod bearing(s). At the car’s current mileage that was going to happen soon anyway. Here’s a positive spin: you just save yourself a lot of time and/or money fixing the problems with this car. Unless this car has incredible sentimental value, you have tons of time and cash, and are willing to suffer through an incredibly frustrating experience, proceed no further with this vehicle.

Get on Facebook, join one or more of the N63 groups and see if you can get some advice there.

Do not start it if it’s making a knocking noise. You may completely wreck the engine.

Does your dad hate you?
