Known Issues

Vanos System:

Degradation of the VANOS O-rings and seals can lead to rough idle, low-end power loss, and rattling noises. Rebuild kits are readily available.

Rod Bearings:

Especially on higher-mileage S50/S52 engines, rod bearing wear can be a concern. Regular oil changes and avoiding excessively hard acceleration from cold are recommended.

Cooling System:

Plastic coolant expansion tanks can become brittle and crack. Water pumps and thermostat housings can also leak over time.

Suspension Bushings:

Rubber bushings in the suspension and subframe can wear out, leading to imprecise handling and clunking noises. Polyurethane replacements are a popular upgrade.

Headliner:

The fabric on the headliner and A-pillars can sag due to age and heat.

E36 Subframe Mounts:

The rear subframe mounting points in the chassis can crack or tear due to stress, particularly with spirited driving. Reinforcement kits are available.
