Over time, gaskets and seals can deteriorate leading to oil leaks.

The timing chain can stretch or wear out, affecting engine timing and performance.

Fuel injectors may clog or fail, leading to poor engine performance and fuel economy.

Turbochargers can wear out or fail, especially in older models, causing a loss of power.

Radiators, water pumps, and hoses can fail, leading to overheating issues.

Vacuum hoses and intake gaskets can develop leaks, causing rough idling and poor performance.

Various sensors (e.g., oxygen, mass air flow, crankshaft position) can fail, leading to check engine lights and driveability issues.

Over time, piston rings can wear out, leading to reduced compression and increased oil consumption.

DBS systems can sometimes fail to activate correctly, which could lead to insufficient braking assistance during emergency stops.

Given the high horsepower (322 hp) and the turbocharged engine, there may be problems with turbocharger wear and tear, leading to reduced performance or turbo lag.

Direct injection engines, like the one in the BMW 740i, are prone to carbon buildup on intake valves, which can affect engine performance and fuel efficiency.

BMW engines, especially the N-series, can be prone to oil leaks from various seals and gaskets, such as the valve cover gasket or oil filter housing gasket.

The high-performance nature of the engine can lead to premature wear of the high-pressure fuel pump, causing starting issues and performance drops.

BMWs are known for having complex cooling systems that can fail, leading to overheating issues which can cause severe engine damage.

Modern BMWs, including the 2019 740i, have complex electrical systems that can develop issues with sensors, wiring, and control modules.

Some BMW engines have experienced timing chain stretch or failure, which can lead to serious engine damage if not addressed promptly.

The advanced automatic transmissions in BMWs can sometimes have issues with shifting smoothly or failing outright, especially if not properly maintained.

Older Mercedes-Benz engines like the one in the 1991 500 model are prone to oil leaks due to worn-out seals and gaskets.

The timing chain and its components can wear out over time, leading to potential engine damage if not addressed.

Fuel injectors may get clogged or fail, causing poor engine performance and reduced fuel efficiency.

The cooling system components, such as the radiator and water pump, may fail or become less effective over time, leading to engine overheating.

Vacuum lines and hoses can become brittle and crack, causing various performance issues and error codes.

Older ignition systems can suffer from problems with the distributor cap, rotor, spark plugs, and ignition wires.

Head gasket issues can cause coolant leaks, oil contamination, and engine overheating.

The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve can get clogged or fail, leading to rough idling and poor fuel economy.
