Most common problems:

Dynamic brake support (dbs) malfunction

DBS systems can sometimes fail to activate or provide insufficient braking force, which can be due to sensor issues or software glitches.

Engine misfire

Misfires in a 6-cylinder engine, like the one in the 2018 BMW M4, can be caused by faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors.

Turbocharger failure

The BMW M4 is equipped with turbochargers which can fail due to oil contamination, bearing wear, or excessive heat.

High-pressure fuel pump issues

The high-performance engine in the M4 requires precise fuel delivery, and a failing high-pressure fuel pump can lead to rough idling, stalling, or poor acceleration.

Cooling system leaks

The cooling system in the BMW M4 may develop leaks in hoses, the radiator, or the water pump, leading to overheating issues.

Vanos system failure

BMW's variable valve timing system (VANOS) can suffer from solenoid failure or oil pressure issues, leading to poor engine performance and rough idling.

Carbon buildup

Direct injection engines, like the one in the BMW M4, can experience carbon buildup on intake valves, which can cause reduced performance and fuel efficiency.

Electronic throttle control problems

Issues with the electronic throttle control can lead to poor throttle response or erratic idling.

Transmission issues

The dual-clutch transmission (DCT) in the M4 can suffer from software glitches, sensor failures, or mechanical wear, leading to shifting problems.

Suspension wear

The high-performance suspension components can wear out faster under aggressive driving conditions, leading to handling issues and increased tire wear.
