Common BMW 5 Series Engine Problems

German engineering is known for its durability and dependability but just like any other high-performance vehicle, engine issues always rear their ugly head at unexpected times. There are some known issues with the BMW 5 series as well that require attention from time to time and if not looked after promptly, can cause significant damage that may result in you eventually opting for engine replacement.

Timing Chain Failure

This issue was seen particularly with the models using N47 and N57 diesel engines as a worn or stretched timing chain can lead to catastrophic engine failure if left untreated.

Turbocharger Failures

Turbocharged models are more sought after as they provide the extra oomph that the naturally aspirated engines lack. However, due to excessive carbon buildup, oil starvation or worn out seals require immediate attention or you can witness reduced power, increased fuel consumption and finally engine failure.

Oil Leaks and Coolant System Malfunctions

While the above malfunctions may sound less serious or minor, if left unchecked can lead to overheating, loss of vital lubrication and eventually lead to a complete engine failure.

At BM Engine Works, we ensure that we diagnose and resolve the issues and if engine replacement seems a viable option, then we have ready to fit low mileage used and reconditioned BMW 5 series engines at affordable prices.
