- Logic 7 Amplifier FailureModerate
The Harman Kardon Logic 7 audio amplifier mounted in the rear boot side pocket suffers from overheating and water ingress from taillight seals. A dead amplifier interrupts the MOST fibre-optic ring, crashing the iDrive system.
- Electronic Parking BrakeSerious
The internal nylon reduction gears inside the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) actuator module under the boot floor strip their teeth, causing the motor to spin unloaded and fail to hold or release.
- Valve Stem Seals & Coolant Pipe (N62 V8)Serious
The N62 V8 in the 735i, 740i, and 745i/750i suffers from hardened valve stem seals that burn oil into the exhaust and front valley pipe seals that weep coolant past the timing case hole.
