Common Issues in
Older BMW Models
We specialize in addressing the most frequent issues affecting older BMW vehicles:
- Cooling System: When it comes to BMW’s older models on the market, one must pay close attention to the cooling systems, as well as the plastic components that can come apart over time. In order to keep the car running properly, we will proactively care for your radiator, water pumps, expansion tanks, and thermostats so that the rest of the engine avoids overheating, which will cost a lot more than preventative maintenance.
- VANOS & Engine Performance: The camshaft timing regulator, the VANOS system, is a unique and comple system it takes BMW experts to fix properly. That’s why it’s imperative that if your classic Beamer is having problems, you must bring the car into seasoned techincians like the ones at our Brooklyn auto shop.
- Electrical Systems: Using advanced BMW diagnostic tools, we quickly resolve electrical gremlins common in aging vehicles, from module failures to mysterious battery drains.
- Transmission & Drivetrain: There are a host of things that can go wrong, but hte most common issues in older BMWs are mechatronic sleeve leads, rougher shifting between gears, and problems with the differential. We have all the tools and parts needed to ensure you get a quick and smooth repair done.
- Suspension & Steering: Brooklyn roads can be a harsh place for a luxury vehicle, so we regularly inspect and replace worn suspension bushings, shocks, and control arms, so that you’re that much safer, especially in terms of handling.
