Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2012 model year cars.
- N63 V8 Engine FailuresSerious
The early 4.4L hot-V twin-turbo V8 in the 650i suffers from extreme thermal stress, leading to hardened valve stem seals, stretched timing chains, cracked turbo coolant hoses, and leaking piezoinjectors that can cause bore wash or hydraulic lock.
- Adaptive LED Headlight MoistureSerious
The factory sealing beads on the front adaptive LED headlight assemblies can degrade, admitting rainwater and road spray. Condensation inside the lens shorts out the TMS driver modules positioned at the bottom of the housing.
- Soft Close Door ActuatorsModerate
The motorized pull-down latches for the optional soft-close doors can experience cable stretch or internal microswitch failure, causing the door to fail to cinch or bounce slightly open instead of latching.
