Most common problems:

Oil leaks

BMW M3 engines, especially the S65 V8, are known to develop oil leaks from various seals and gaskets, including the valve cover gasket and the oil filter housing gasket.

Rod bearing wear

The S65 V8 engine can suffer from premature rod bearing wear, which can lead to engine knocking or catastrophic engine failure if not addressed.

Throttle actuator failure

The electronic throttle actuators in the S65 engine can fail, leading to poor engine performance and triggering the check engine light.

Vanos solenoid issues

The variable valve timing system (VANOS) solenoids can fail or become clogged, causing rough idle, poor performance, and reduced fuel efficiency.

Cooling system problems

The cooling system components, such as the water pump and thermostat, are prone to failure, leading to overheating issues.

Carbon build-up

Direct injection engines like the S65 can suffer from carbon build-up on the intake valves, leading to reduced engine performance and efficiency.
