Most common problems:

Oil leaks

BMW 550i engines from 2013 are known to develop oil leaks, particularly from the valve cover gaskets and the oil filter housing gaskets.

High-pressure fuel pump (hpfp) failure

The high-pressure fuel pump is prone to failure, which can lead to rough idling, loss of power, and difficulty starting the engine.

Coolant leaks

The 2013 BMW 550i can experience coolant leaks from the water pump or the radiator, which can cause overheating issues.

Timing chain issues

The timing chain and its components can wear prematurely, leading to rattling noises and potential engine damage if not addressed.

Turbocharger problems

Turbochargers can fail, leading to a loss of power and increased exhaust smoke.

Carbon buildup

Direct injection engines like the one in the 550i can suffer from carbon buildup on the intake valves, leading to rough idling, reduced performance, and increased fuel consumption.

Electrical problems

Electrical issues, such as problems with the engine control unit (ECU) or sensors, can lead to various engine performance issues and warning lights.
