Most common problems:

Oil leaks

BMW 435i engines, particularly from the 2016 model year, are known to develop oil leaks from the valve cover gasket, oil filter housing gasket, and oil pan gasket.

Cooling system issues

These engines may experience failures in the water pump or thermostat, leading to overheating issues.

Timing chain wear

The timing chain can stretch or wear prematurely, which can lead to rough running, engine noise, or even catastrophic engine failure if not addressed.

Fuel injector problems

Direct injection engines can suffer from clogged or failing fuel injectors, causing misfires, rough idling, or poor fuel economy.

Turbocharger failures

As a turbocharged engine, the BMW 435i might experience turbocharger failures or boost leaks, which can result in power loss and increased emissions.

Carbon build-up

Direct injection engines like the one in the 435i are prone to carbon build-up on the intake valves, which can cause rough idling, misfires, and reduced performance.

Vanos solenoid issues

The variable valve timing system (VANOS) can experience solenoid failures, leading to poor performance and engine warning lights.

High-pressure fuel pump (hpfp) failure

The HPFP can fail, causing starting issues, rough running, or stalling.
