Comprehensive Repair for
E, F, and G-Series BMWs

At Bay Diagnostic, we expertly service a broad range of older BMW models:

  • 3 Series (E30, E36, E46, E90, E91, E92, E93): In this series, the VANOS system often needs repairs, which requres deep expertise. Other common issues are cooling system leaks, and subframe integrity issues.
  • 4 Series (F32, F33, F36): The F Series host of problems include timing chain issues, carbon buildup where the direct injection occurs.
  • 5 Series (E28, E34, E39, E60, F10, G30): The E and G Series models aformentioned are knowon for ltheir luxurious and smooth rides, but their cooling systems can run into problems, as well as their high pressure fuel pumps.
  • 6 Series (E63, E64): We specialize in the highly particular and unique E63 and E64 models of the past. Our technicians are more than capable of repairing any convertible top problems, SMG transmission faults, or more common engine issues with adept precision.
  • 7 Series (E32, E38, E65/E66): Addressing the electrical and suspension complexities that go on with the various 7 Series models is a cinch for specialized technicians with experience fixing electronic gremlins and valve stem seal leaks.
  • X Series (E53 X5, E70 X5): Something like a coolant leak in an E53 or a turbocharger failure in an E70 are common problems in these SUVs that we’ll be happy to help you out with.
  • Z Series (E85, E86): If it is some kind of a VANOS issue, a convertible top problem, or a suspension failure going on with your Z4, the mechanics at our shop have everything at their disposal to get that fix done right.

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.
