Problems:
Oil leaks
Older BMW engines, such as the one in the 1992 525i, are prone to oil leaks from the valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket, and rear main seal.
Cooling system failures
The cooling system, including the radiator, water pump, and thermostat, may fail over time, leading to overheating issues.
Vanos system issues
The variable valve timing system (VANOS) can develop problems, leading to rough idling, loss of power, and poor fuel economy.
Head gasket failure
High mileage and overheating can lead to head gasket failure, causing coolant and oil to mix and leading to significant engine damage.
Timing chain wear
The timing chain and its associated components can wear out, leading to rattling noises and potential engine performance issues.
Fuel injector problems
Clogged or failing fuel injectors can cause poor engine performance, misfires, and reduced fuel efficiency.
Spark plug and ignition coil issues
Worn spark plugs and failing ignition coils can lead to misfires, rough running, and difficulty starting the engine.
