- Front Tyre Inner WearModerate
The heavy kerb weight (over 1.9 tonnes) and aggressive factory front suspension camber geometry cause the inner shoulders of the front run-flat tyres to wear rapidly to the cords while outer tread appears healthy.
- Laserlight CondensationSerious
BMW Laserlight headlights on the 8 Series can develop internal misting and water droplet accumulation from seal micropores, eventually corroding the internal laser driver control modules and ballast units.
