Most common problems:

Oil leaks

BMW engines, including those in the X3, are known to develop oil leaks over time, often from the valve cover gasket or oil filter housing gasket.

Timing chain issues

Some BMW models have been reported to experience premature timing chain wear or failure, which can cause engine damage if not addressed.

Cooling system failures

BMWs can develop issues with the water pump or thermostat, leading to overheating problems if not promptly repaired.

Carbon build-up

Direct injection engines, like those found in some BMWs, can suffer from carbon build-up on the intake valves, affecting performance and fuel efficiency.

Vanos solenoid failures

The variable valve timing system in BMWs, known as VANOS, can experience solenoid failures, leading to rough idling and reduced power.

High-pressure fuel pump failures

Some BMW models with turbocharged engines have reported issues with the high-pressure fuel pump, which can lead to stalling or poor performance.
