- Timing Chain Guide Wear / VANOS IssuesSerious
E39-era M5s can suffer from worn chain guides, VANOS solenoid issues, and heavy oil leaks as the S62 ages. Preventative mechanical work is often the difference between a great car and a disaster.
- Rod Bearing Wear / Throttle Actuator FailureSerious
The V10 E60/E61 M5 is notorious for rod-bearing wear and failing throttle actuators. Both can turn a cheap-looking car into a huge engine bill.
- SMG / DCT / Transmission Heat StressSerious
Fast M5s punish transmissions. E60 SMG hydraulic components, F10 DCT heat stress, and even later automatic driveline components all suffer if the car has been launched repeatedly.
