Most common problems:

Oil leaks

Oil leaks can occur due to worn gaskets or seals, and they are common in older vehicles. The BMW 650i with a V8 engine is no exception.

Timing chain issues

The timing chain can wear out or become loose over time, which can lead to poor engine performance or even severe engine damage if not addressed.

Coolant leaks

Coolant leaks can happen due to aging hoses, clamps, or the radiator itself. This can lead to overheating and potential engine damage.

Valve stem seal failure

The valve stem seals can wear out, causing oil to leak into the combustion chamber and leading to blue smoke from the exhaust.

Fuel injector problems

Over time, fuel injectors can get clogged or fail, leading to poor engine performance and decreased fuel efficiency.

Carbon buildup

Direct injection engines, like the one in the BMW 650i, can experience carbon buildup on the intake valves, which can affect performance and fuel efficiency.

Electrical issues

The complexity of the BMW 650i’s electrical system can lead to problems with sensors, wiring, and control modules, which can affect engine performance.

Engine misfires

Misfires can be caused by a variety of issues, including faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel delivery problems.
