Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2013 model year cars.
- Cracked Alloy WheelsSerious
The combination of large 19-inch alloy wheels (especially Style 296 and Style 326M), stiff low-profile run-flat tyres, and rigid M Sport damping causes the inner rim barrel to crack under impact from potholes.
- High Pressure Fuel Pump (35i)Serious
The direct-injection twin-turbo N54 engine in 35i and 35is models features a high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP) that suffers internal mechanical seal and solenoid failure, causing long cranking times and limp-home mode under load.
- Folding Roof Relays/PumpSerious
The two-piece retractable electro-hydraulic hardtop relies on twin salmon-coloured relays located near the battery. Sticking relay contacts keep the hydraulic pump motor running continuously until it burns out or overheats.
