Most common problems:

Oil leaks

Older BMW models, like the 2006 M5, are prone to oil leaks, often from the valve cover gasket or oil pan gasket.

Vanos system issues

The Variable Nockenwellen Steuerung (VANOS) system, which adjusts the timing of the camshafts, can fail and cause poor engine performance and rough idling.

Rod bearing failure

The S85 engine in the 2006 M5 is known for rod bearing issues, which can lead to catastrophic engine failure if not addressed.

Throttle actuator failure

The throttle actuators in the 2006 M5 can fail, causing the car to go into limp mode and significantly reducing power.

Coolant leaks

Cooling system components such as the radiator, water pump, and hoses may develop leaks, leading to overheating issues.

Ignition coil failure

Ignition coils can fail, causing misfires and rough running conditions.

Smg transmission problems

The Sequential Manual Gearbox (SMG) can have issues with the hydraulic pump, clutch, or electronic components, leading to shifting problems.

Carbon build-up

Over time, carbon deposits can build up in the intake system, leading to reduced performance and fuel efficiency.
