Most common problems:

Oil leaks

BMW V8 engines, including those in the 750i and ALPINA B7, are known for developing oil leaks, often from valve cover gaskets or oil pan gaskets.

Cooling system problems

The cooling systems in these models can be prone to failure. Common issues include water pump failure, thermostat failure, and radiator leaks.

Turbocharger issues

The ALPINA B7, being a high-performance vehicle, relies on turbochargers that can sometimes fail or suffer from reduced efficiency over time.

High pressure fuel pumps

BMWs with V8 engines, particularly the turbocharged versions, can experience high-pressure fuel pump failures, leading to rough idling and stalling.

Timing chain wear

Premature timing chain wear is a recognized problem in many BMW V8 engines, leading to significant engine damage if not addressed promptly.

Ignition coil failure

Ignition coils in BMW V8 engines can often fail, leading to misfires and rough running conditions.

Engine overheating

Due to the complex cooling system and high performance of these engines, overheating can be a common issue if the system is not properly maintained.

Carbon buildup

Direct injection engines, like those in the 750i and ALPINA B7, are prone to carbon buildup on the intake valves, leading to reduced performance and fuel economy.

Engine mount failure

The powerful V8 engines can cause excessive wear on engine mounts, leading to increased vibrations and noise.

Battery drain

Electrical issues, including battery drain, are common in high-tech vehicles like the 750i and ALPINA B7, often due to the numerous electronic systems.
