Problem overview

Some BMW 528i owners report experiencing serious issues when the low engine oil pressure light activates, accompanied by car shaking. This warning light indicates a drop in engine oil pressure, which can lead to significant engine damage and costly repairs if not addressed quickly. The low oil pressure may cause rough idling and shaking, signaling that the engine's performance is compromised. Additionally, some owners find that changing the oil pan gasket can help prevent oil leaks that contribute to low oil pressure. Regular monitoring of oil levels and using the recommended oil type are also essential maintenance practices to avoid these issues. It is highly recommended to conduct a thorough inspection to identify the root cause of the low oil pressure warning before any repairs are made, as prompt resolution is crucial for maintaining the performance and longevity of the BMW 528i.
