Most common problems:

Dynamic brake support (dbs) malfunction

DBS may fail to engage during emergency braking, potentially due to sensor issues or software malfunctions.

Turbocharger failure

The high-performance engine may experience turbocharger issues, such as oil leaks or bearing wear, affecting overall power and efficiency.

Fuel injector problems

Clogged or malfunctioning fuel injectors can lead to poor engine performance, increased emissions, and reduced fuel efficiency.

Exhaust system issues

The complex exhaust system, including catalytic converters and oxygen sensors, may fail or become clogged, affecting emissions and performance.

Transmission issues

The high-performance transmission may experience problems such as rough shifting, slipping gears, or failure to engage.

Cooling system failures

The cooling system, including radiators and water pumps, may fail to manage the high heat generated by the powerful engine, leading to overheating.

Electrical problems

Modern BMWs are equipped with advanced electronics that can suffer from software glitches, sensor failures, or wiring issues.

Carbon build-up

Direct injection engines can suffer from carbon build-up on intake valves, which can affect engine performance and efficiency.

Suspension wear and tear

The high-performance suspension system may experience accelerated wear, leading to handling issues and the need for frequent replacements.

Brake system wear

The high-performance braking system may wear out more quickly due to the car's power and performance capabilities, requiring more frequent maintenance and replacements.
