BMW N54 Problems to Expect - Reliability Report

BMW N54 is one of the most famous BMW engines produced in the last couple of decades, but of course it doesn't come without any issues. Being the first turbocharged engine, it had to have some issues and in this video I go over the most common problems to expect on the BMW N54. Of course these engines came on many different models of cars, including the BMW 335i I had a few years ago. While this is an amazing engine, it doesn't hurt being prepared to take care of some problems and make it reliable for many more years.
