Yep!! rattly vanos units common expensive jobs along with common wishbones and brakes as adam says as are the over tank rear brake lines rot along with the warping subframes! another if a manual is the bushes in the gearbox wear so when engine is cool gear stick sits in 5th position and gear change can be a nightmare! smg boxes are a nightmare too! Bmw are nightmare motors if not looked after most 3 series are rot round the arches but are good motors when there good! tbh i wouldnt own another bmw unless i had enough money to not worrie if problems occour another one to keep in mind the natually drink oil!! All cars have there u and downs but not us much as ive experienced with my bmws!! what about an audi rs4???
