Most common problems:

Oil leaks

The BMW M5 is known for developing oil leaks over time, especially around the valve cover gaskets and oil pan gaskets.

High-pressure fuel pump failure

The high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP) can fail, leading to issues with fuel delivery and engine performance.

Rod bearing wear

The rod bearings in the 8-cylinder engines of this era can wear prematurely, potentially leading to severe engine damage if not addressed.

Turbocharger issues

Since the M5 is turbocharged, problems with the turbochargers, such as wastegate rattle or failure, can occur.

Cooling system failures

Components like the radiator, water pump, and thermostat can fail, leading to overheating problems.

Vanos solenoid failure

The variable valve timing system (VANOS) solenoids can fail, resulting in poor engine performance and rough idling.

Ignition coil failure

The ignition coils can fail, causing misfires, rough running, and poor fuel economy.

Carbon buildup

Direct injection engines like the one in the M5 can suffer from carbon buildup on the intake valves, leading to performance issues.
