Most common problems:

Dynamic brake support (dbs) malfunction

DBS might not activate during emergency braking situations, potentially leading to longer stopping distances.

Engine misfires

Misfires can be caused by ignition coil or spark plug issues, leading to rough idling and poor acceleration.

Turbocharger issues

Turbochargers in BMW 640i can sometimes fail, resulting in reduced power and increased exhaust smoke.

Cooling system failures

BMWs are known for cooling system issues, such as radiator, water pump, or thermostat failures, which can lead to engine overheating.

Oil leaks

Common in BMW engines, oil leaks can occur from the valve cover gasket or oil filter housing gasket, leading to low oil levels and potential engine damage.

High-pressure fuel pump failure

This can cause stalling, poor performance, and difficulty starting the engine.

Timing chain issues

Problems with the timing chain can lead to rattling noises and, if severe, can cause significant engine damage.

Transmission problems

Issues such as rough shifting or transmission failure can occur, especially as the vehicle ages.

Electrical system issues

BMW 640i models may experience problems with electronic components, such as sensors, control modules, or wiring harnesses.

Carbon buildup

Direct injection engines like the one in the 640i can suffer from carbon buildup on intake valves, leading to performance issues and rough idling.
