Most common problems:

Faulty dynamic brake support (dbs)

The system may fail to assist during emergency braking due to sensor or software issues.

Engine misfire

Common in BMWs due to issues with ignition coils, spark plugs, or fuel injectors.

Turbocharger failure

Turbocharged engines like the BMW M240i's can experience turbo failure, often due to oil supply issues or wear and tear.

High-pressure fuel pump (hpfp) failure

BMWs are known to have issues with HPFP, leading to poor performance or stalling.

Vanos system issues

The variable valve timing system in BMW engines (VANOS) can fail, leading to rough idling or poor performance.

Oil leaks

Common in BMW engines, potentially from valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets, or oil filter housing gaskets.

Cooling system problems

BMWs are prone to issues with the water pump, thermostat, and radiator, which can lead to overheating.

Carbon buildup

Direct-injection engines like the one in the M240i can suffer from carbon buildup on intake valves, leading to performance issues.

Electrical problems

BMWs often experience issues with electrical components, including sensors, control modules, and wiring.

Transmission issues

Automatic transmissions in BMWs can have issues with shifting, often due to software problems or wear and tear.
