Problems:

Turbocharger failure
Turbochargers in turbocharged engines like the DIB Turbo can fail due to excessive heat, lack of lubrication, or foreign object damage, leading to reduced power and efficiency.
Oil consumption
The 2015 Subaru WRX is known to consume more oil than usual, which can lead to lower oil levels and potential engine damage if not monitored and maintained.
Head gasket issues
Although less common in newer models, Subaru engines have historically had problems with head gasket failures, leading to coolant and oil leaks, and overheating.
Carbon build-up
Direct injection engines, like the one in the WRX, can suffer from carbon build-up on intake valves, which can cause rough idling, misfires, and reduced performance.
Knock sensor failure
The knock sensor can fail, leading to poor engine performance and possible engine damage if knocking (pre-detonation) occurs.
Fuel injector problems
Clogged or malfunctioning fuel injectors can lead to poor fuel delivery, causing rough running, misfires, and decreased fuel efficiency.
Timing chain/tensioner issues
Problems with the timing chain or tensioner can lead to improper engine timing, which can cause engine noise, performance issues, and in severe cases, engine damage.

Cooling system problems
The cooling system, including the radiator and water pump, can sometimes fail, leading to overheating issues.
Ignition coil failures
Ignition coils in BMWs are known to sometimes fail, causing misfires and rough engine performance.
Fuel injector problems
Dirty or faulty fuel injectors can lead to poor fuel economy and engine performance issues.
Timing chain issues
The timing chain can sometimes stretch or wear out, leading to engine misfires and potentially severe engine damage if not addressed.
Carbon build-up
Direct injection engines can suffer from carbon build-up on the intake valves, leading to reduced performance and efficiency.
Battery drain
Electrical systems in the BMW M6 can sometimes cause excessive battery drain, leading to starting issues.
Vanos system failure
The variable valve timing system (VANOS) can sometimes fail, leading to poor engine performance and increased fuel consumption.

Spec:

Other Engine Info
DOHC TC/IC MIVEC

Problems:

Turbocharger failure
The turbocharger in the Lancer Evolution can fail due to excessive wear or lack of proper lubrication, leading to loss of power and poor engine performance.
Clutch wear
The high-performance nature of the vehicle often leads to accelerated clutch wear, causing slippage, difficulty in shifting gears, and ultimately, clutch failure.
Timing chain tensioner issues
The timing chain tensioner can wear out or fail, resulting in improper timing chain tension which can lead to engine misfires, noise, or even severe engine damage.
Carbon build-up
Direct injection engines like the MIVEC can suffer from carbon build-up on intake valves, leading to reduced engine efficiency, rough idling, and poor fuel economy.
Transmission problems
The dual-clutch transmission (if equipped) can experience issues such as rough shifting, hesitation, or failure to engage gears properly.
Cooling system leaks
Radiator and hose leaks can occur, leading to overheating and potential engine damage if not addressed promptly.
Suspension wear
The performance-oriented suspension components can wear out quickly, leading to a rough ride, handling issues, and increased tire wear.
Electrical issues
Problems with the electrical system, such as faulty sensors or wiring, can cause a range of issues from engine performance problems to dashboard warning lights.
