Problems:

Dynamic brake support (dbs) malfunction
DBS may fail to activate, leading to insufficient braking assistance during emergency situations.
Engine performance issues
Variability in engine performance may be noted between the 473hp and 503hp configurations, causing inconsistent driving experiences.
Cylinder misfire
Problems with the ignition system or fuel injectors can cause one or more of the six cylinders to misfire, leading to rough engine performance.
Turbocharger failure
Turbochargers can wear out or fail, particularly in high-performance engines, causing a significant drop in power and efficiency.
Oil leaks
Oil leaks are common in high-performance engines, often due to gasket or seal failures, leading to potential engine damage if not addressed.
Cooling system issues
High-performance engines like the ones in the BMW X4 may experience overheating due to a malfunctioning cooling system, such as a failing water pump or radiator.
Transmission problems
The high torque and power output can place extra stress on the transmission, leading to issues such as slipping gears or delayed shifting.
Fuel system problems
High-performance engines require precise fuel delivery, and any issues in the fuel system, like clogged injectors or a failing fuel pump, can lead to performance problems.
Electronic component failure
Modern vehicles have numerous electronic components that can fail, including sensors and control modules, which may affect engine performance and reliability.
Exhaust system issues
Performance-focused exhaust systems can develop leaks or become damaged, leading to increased emissions and noise along with decreased performance.

Problems:

Oil leaks
BMW engines, including the 6-cylinder ones, are often prone to oil leaks, particularly from the valve cover gasket and oil filter housing gasket.
Cooling system issues
The cooling system in BMWs can be problematic, with issues such as water pump failures and radiator leaks being common.
High-pressure fuel pump failure
The high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP) in BMWs can fail, leading to rough engine performance and difficulty starting the vehicle.
Carbon build-up
Direct injection engines in BMWs can suffer from carbon build-up on the intake valves, leading to reduced performance and efficiency.
Turbocharger problems
Turbocharged engines, like those in the X4 M and X4 M Competition, can experience turbocharger failures or issues, especially if not properly maintained.
Vanos system issues
The Variable Valve Timing system (Vanos) in BMW engines can fail, causing rough idling and poor engine performance.
Electrical problems
