Most common problems:

Oil leaks

BMW engines from the late 1990s are known to develop oil leaks, particularly from the valve cover gasket and oil filter housing gasket.

Cooling system issues

The cooling system, including the water pump, thermostat, and radiator, can fail over time, leading to overheating issues.

Vanos system failure

The Variable Valve Timing (VANOS) system can fail, causing rough idling, poor performance, and increased fuel consumption.

Crankcase ventilation system issues

The crankcase ventilation system can become clogged, leading to increased oil consumption and potential engine damage.

Ignition coil failure

Ignition coils can fail, leading to misfires, rough running, and reduced engine performance.

Mass air flow (maf) sensor failure

The MAF sensor can become dirty or fail, causing poor fuel economy, rough idling, and stalling.

Timing chain tensioner wear

Over time, the timing chain tensioner can wear out, causing a rattling noise and potential engine damage if not addressed.
