Problems:

Oil leaks

The BMW Z4, especially with its 4-cylinder engine, can develop oil leaks from the valve cover gasket or oil filter housing gasket.

Cooling system issues

The cooling system components, such as the water pump and thermostat, can fail, leading to overheating problems.

Timing chain problems

The timing chain and its associated components can experience excessive wear, potentially leading to engine misfires or more severe engine damage.

Fuel injector problems

The fuel injectors can become clogged or fail, leading to rough idling, poor fuel economy, and reduced engine performance.
