Most common problems:

Oil leaks

Older BMW engines, especially from the early '90s, are prone to develop oil leaks due to worn gaskets and seals.

Cooling system failures

The cooling systems in these models are known to have issues with the radiator, water pump, and thermostat, leading to overheating.

Vacuum leaks

The intake manifold and various vacuum lines can develop leaks over time, causing rough idling and poor performance.

Worn timing belt/chain

Depending on the specific engine, the timing belt or chain can wear out, leading to potential engine damage if not replaced timely.

Faulty ignition coils

Ignition coils can fail, causing misfires and poor engine performance.

Fuel injector problems

Clogged or failing fuel injectors can lead to uneven engine performance and reduced fuel efficiency.

Valve cover gasket failure

The valve cover gasket is prone to leaking, which can cause oil to seep into the spark plug wells.

Mass air flow (maf) sensor issues

A failing MAF sensor can cause the engine to run lean or rich, affecting performance and fuel economy.

Crankshaft position sensor failure

A faulty sensor can result in intermittent stalling or a no-start condition.

Idle control valve problems

The idle control valve can become dirty or fail, leading to unstable idle speeds.
