ADVISORY

Common Problems: BMW M3

Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.

Cooling System Overhaul (E36 / E46)(Serious)
Older M3s share BMW's habit of treating expansion tanks, radiators, hoses, and water pumps as consumables. Overheating one can quickly become an engine rebuild conversation.
