Timing chain wear or failure can cause severe engine damage and is a known issue in some BMW engines.

Fuel injector problems

Faulty fuel injectors can lead to poor engine performance and reduced fuel efficiency.

Carbon buildup

Direct injection engines like the one in the BMW 1M are prone to carbon buildup on intake valves.
