Most common problems:

Oil leaks

BMW engines, especially in models with higher performance like the 650i and ALPINA B6, are known for developing oil leaks over time due to deteriorating gaskets and seals.

Timing chain issues

Some BMW V8 engines have experienced problems with the timing chain, which can lead to severe engine damage if not addressed promptly.

Turbocharger failures

Given the high-performance nature of the ALPINA B6, turbocharger issues are not uncommon, leading to reduced performance and potential engine damage.

Cooling system problems

BMWs are known for their sophisticated but sometimes unreliable cooling systems, which can lead to overheating issues if components like the water pump or radiator fail.

Fuel injector issues

Fuel injectors in these high-performance engines can become clogged or fail, causing poor engine performance or misfires.

Ignition coil failures

Ignition coils in BMW V8 engines can fail, leading to engine misfires and reduced performance.

Vanos system problems

The variable valve timing system (VANOS) in BMW engines can sometimes malfunction, affecting performance and fuel efficiency.

Carbon build-up

Direct injection engines, like those found in the BMW 650i and ALPINA B6, are prone to carbon build-up on the intake valves, which can impact engine performance and efficiency.
