Most common problems:

Brake fade

This occurs when the braking system overheats, reducing its effectiveness. The Dynamic Brake Support (DBS) may not compensate adequately under extreme conditions.

Turbocharger failure

High-performance engines like the one in the BMW M3 can suffer from turbocharger issues due to high stress and heat.

Oil consumption

BMW engines, particularly the high-performance 6-cylinder ones, are known to consume more oil, which could lead to frequent top-ups or potential engine damage if not monitored.

Timing chain issues

BMW engines, especially in models from around 2018, have been known to face timing chain problems, which can lead to significant engine damage if not addressed.

Fuel system problems

High-performance engines require high-quality fuel and precise injection systems, which can sometimes lead to issues with fuel pumps or injectors.

Electrical issues

Modern BMWs, including the 2018 M3, have complex electrical systems that can sometimes fail, leading to various problems from sensor failures to complete system shutdowns.

Cooling system failures

The high-performance engine generates a lot of heat, and any failure in the cooling system can lead to overheating and potential engine damage.
