Most common problems:

Oil leaks

BMW Z3s, especially older models like the 2002, are known for developing oil leaks from the valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket, and rear main seal.

Cooling system failures

Issues such as radiator cracks, water pump failures, and thermostat problems are common in BMW engines, leading to overheating.

Vanos system failures

The Variable Valve Timing (VANOS) system in BMW engines can fail, leading to rough idling, loss of power, and poor fuel economy.

Ignition coil failures

The ignition coils in BMWs are prone to failure, causing misfires, rough running, and loss of power.

Mass air flow sensor issues

The MAF sensor can become dirty or fail, leading to poor engine performance and reduced fuel efficiency.

Crankcase ventilation (ccv) problems

The CCV system can fail, causing oil sludge buildup and poor engine performance.

Electric water pump failure

In some BMW engines, the electric water pump can fail prematurely, causing overheating and potential engine damage.

Fuel pump failure

The fuel pump can fail, leading to starting issues, stalling, and poor engine performance.

Timing chain issues

Problems with the timing chain can lead to rattling noises, poor engine performance, and potential engine damage if not addressed.
