Common Problems: BMW M3
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Rod Bearing Wear(Serious)
S54 and S65 cars are well known for rod-bearing wear, especially if oil changes have been stretched or the cars have seen regular track use. Left too long, the engine can destroy itself.
- Throttle Actuator Failure(Serious)
The V8 M3 uses electric throttle actuators that fail with age and heat, putting the car into limp mode. Many cars have already had one or both done.
