Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2016 model year cars.
- EGR Cooler Leak / Fire RiskSerious
The standard BMW diesel recall affects the F15 heavily. Coolant leaks internally in the EGR cooler, mixing with soot to create a fire risk.
- Rear Air Spring LeaksModerate
The rear air suspension bags perish and leak over time, causing the car to sag and the compressor to overwork.
- Amplifier Water DamageSerious
Water can leak into the rear load area (often via the D-pillar or panoramic roof drains) and destroy the expensive Harman Kardon amplifier located in the left-hand cubby.
