Problems:
Oil leaks
BMW engines from the early 1980s, including the 633 csi, are known for developing oil leaks around the valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket, and rear main seal.
Cooling system issues
These engines often face problems with the cooling system, including failing water pumps, radiators, and thermostat failures, which can lead to overheating.
Timing belt failure
The 6-cylinder engines from this era use a timing belt that can wear out or break, potentially causing significant engine damage if not replaced at recommended intervals.
Fuel injection problems
Early fuel injection systems, such as the Bosch L-Jetronic used in the 633 csi, can develop issues with injectors, fuel pumps, and sensors, leading to poor engine performance.
Vacuum leaks
The complex vacuum system in these engines can develop leaks, causing rough idling, stalling, and poor fuel economy.
Electrical issues
Aging electrical components, including the ignition system, alternator, and wiring, can lead to a variety of engine performance problems.
Head gasket failure
Over time, the head gasket can fail, leading to coolant and oil mixing, loss of compression, and potential engine overheating.
