Common BMW 4 SERIES problems

The N55 engine, found in BMW 4 Series models like the 440i, can experience timing chain issues over time. The chain and its guides may wear out, leading to engine misfires, rough idling, and poor performance. If not addressed early, this can result in major engine damage. Owners recommend checking the timing chain around the 100,000 km mark. Symptoms include rattling noises from the engine, poor acceleration, and the check engine light turning on.
The 4 Series, particularly in sportier variants like the 430i or 440i, may experience suspension wear, especially in the rear suspension design. The sportier setup, while providing better handling, can lead to premature wear on components like control arms and bushings. If left unchecked, this can affect ride comfort and handling, causing uneven tire wear and poor alignment. Owners report these issues becoming noticeable around the 80,000-100,000 km range.
For 4 Series Convertible owners, the retractable roof mechanism can sometimes fail, causing the top to get stuck in the open or closed position. This issue is often caused by wear and tear on the motor or mechanical parts that control the roof movement. The problem can arise after several years of use, especially if the convertible top has not been regularly maintained. Owners should have the system checked regularly to avoid expensive repairs.
In some BMW 4 Series models, owners have reported issues with body panel alignment and fit, particularly in the coupe and convertible variants. This issue can manifest as gaps between body panels or doors that do not close properly, affecting the vehicle’s overall appearance and potentially leading to water leaks. This problem is more commonly reported in vehicles that have undergone bodywork or accidents, but some early models have had these issues from the factory.
