They launch very famous cars due to their famous engineering and excellent track record which attract the users for BMW 5 Series. They offer mid-range luxury models that gain more popularity and these make it easy to fill the gap between the users with a furious engine and the best family car. Since 1972 in Europe these machines have gained popularity on the roads.

Most people buy second hand cars because they are recognised as a good investment. People love these vehicles due to their durability and keeping its exterior and interior for a long lifespan. But you must be aware of a few things that create major issues for your BMW 5 Series models. So everyone must be aware and vigilant from these issues because being a car they create disturbance for you. 

Cooling Problem:



In this case most of the time the water pump and thermostat create problems in the BMW 5 Series. So keep eye open on the servicing of the engine if light is indicating or the temperature gauge must watch. If the engine is too hot then the cooling system will be responsible for it. If this issue is not fixed timely then it can lead to the cause of the whole engine. So timely fixing this issue is very important.

Air conditioning Problem:



This issue is frequently reported by users in this BMW 5 series. This issue can be felt as the fan speed changing without any immediate alert and the system only blowing out cold air at low setting. So everyone must make sure one thing is fixed at the specific level before buying a second hand car.

SunRoof Problem:



Do you want to buy the Sunroof for your BMW 5 Series? Check very carefully the sound of the vehicle while driving it because mostly it occurs due to a rubber seal which is not correctly placed on the vehicle due production fault. This fault also creates an impact on the fuel economy of the vehicle and increases the fuel cost and fixes it as soon as possible.

Fuel Pump Problem:



In the E 60 of the BMW 5 series, people widely report that the 535i model creates fuel pump issues, engine performance goes poorly and engine not performing idly. In this case the user must replace the whole pump and fix it as soon as possible. Keep an open eye on following things like disturbing acceleration, misfiring continuously and excessive chase of stalling.     

Tensioners Problem:


Tensioners and idler pulleys create an unusual sound that’s very shocking which is rising from the engine bay. In any case you hear noise from the engine then we recommend you to check engine belts quickly or any other damage. If the belt is misplaced from its position then it damages the cooling system.

Timing Chain Problem:



BMW officially said the M47/N47 engine was free from the timing chain error but unfortunately this part also suffered due to sudden snaps which make it useless for users.  So you must make sure your BMW 5 series has been fully serviced or not. Also make sure everything is inspected.
