This engine was supposed to be the 'next' upgraded engine from M43 variant in terms of technology advancement, hence the frequent attention it needs. Problems? Yes, there are but not every 2 months as claimed. It all depends on how you take good care of the engine as most owners would rank appearance as priority. Main problem is the engine consume engine oil over a period of time.What i did? After a year of ownership, and serious makan minyak hitam issue, decided to change all the gaskets, valves etc i.e. top overhaul. That solved the problem. Now I change engine oil every 8k km. Also, i found out my cooling system was blocked, so I too changed all the hoses, pumps, radiator and related stuff just to be safe. I think most members in here does the same. Other than that, Im happy with my ride........ :rock:Some reference <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_N42" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_N42</a>p/s : now craving for more hp/torque :listen::wink:</blockquote>
