Most common problems:

Oil leaks

BMW engines, particularly older models like the 2010 M6, are known for oil leaks. This can be due to worn gaskets, seals, or valve cover gaskets.

Vanos solenoid failure

The Variable Nockenwellen Steuerung (VANOS) system in BMW engines can fail, leading to poor performance and engine noise.

Rod bearing wear

The high-performance V10 engine in the BMW M6 is prone to rod bearing wear, which can lead to costly engine damage if not addressed.

Cooling system issues

BMWs, including the M6, often face cooling system problems such as failing water pumps, radiators, and expansion tanks.

Carbon buildup

Direct injection engines in BMWs, including the M6, can suffer from carbon buildup on the intake valves, leading to rough idling and reduced performance.

Throttle actuator failure

The electronic throttle actuators in the BMW M6 can fail, causing reduced power and "limp mode" operation.

High oil consumption

The V10 engine in the BMW M6 is known for consuming more oil than average, which requires frequent monitoring and top-ups.

Timing chain issues

Over time, the timing chain and its components can wear out, leading to potential engine damage if not replaced.

Fuel injector problems

Fuel injectors in the BMW M6 can become clogged or fail, causing misfires and poor engine performance.
