Problems:
Oil leaks
Older BMW engines, like the one in the 1999 323iC, are prone to developing oil leaks, particularly from the valve cover gasket and oil pan gasket.
Cooling system failures
The cooling system components, such as the radiator, water pump, and thermostat, are known to fail, leading to overheating issues.
Vanos issues
The variable valve timing system (VANOS) can experience problems, resulting in rough idling, loss of power, and poor fuel economy.
Crankcase ventilation system problems
The crankcase ventilation system can become clogged or fail, causing increased oil consumption and potential engine damage.
Ignition coil failure
The ignition coils can fail, causing misfires, rough running, and a check engine light.
Mass air flow sensor (maf) failure
The MAF sensor can become dirty or fail, leading to poor engine performance and stalling.
Fuel pump issues
The fuel pump can fail or become weak, resulting in starting problems and stalling.
Camshaft position sensor failure
The camshaft position sensor can fail, causing the engine to run poorly or not start at all.
Intake boot cracks
The rubber intake boot can develop cracks over time, leading to vacuum leaks and poor engine performance.
O2 sensor failure
The oxygen sensors can fail, resulting in poor fuel economy and increased emissions.
