Most common problems:

Overheating

BMW V8 engines, especially in older models like the 2002 Z8, can suffer from cooling system issues leading to overheating. This can be due to a failing water pump, radiator, or thermostat.

Oil leaks

With age, the gaskets and seals in the engine might degrade, leading to oil leaks. Common areas include the valve cover gaskets and the oil pan gaskets.

Timing chain wear

The timing chain and its components can wear out over time, causing engine performance issues and potentially leading to engine damage if not addressed.

Vanos issues

BMW's variable valve timing system (VANOS) can develop problems, leading to rough idling, loss of power, and poor fuel economy.

Fuel injector problems

Faulty or clogged fuel injectors can cause misfires, poor acceleration, and reduced fuel efficiency.

Cooling system failures

Components like the radiator, water pump, and hoses can fail, leading to coolant leaks and engine overheating.

Crankcase ventilation system issues

Problems with the crankcase ventilation system can cause rough idling, oil leaks, and increased oil consumption.
