Car Problems tells about the basic BMW E32 engine car problems which arise while in service the car.Your BMW E32 for many years of operation and run kilometers has saved up weight car problems and first of all because of engine M30: oil from the engine flows, a compression low, the layer pad of a head of the cylinder block has burned through, and the engine overheats... To put it briefly, car problems so many that it will turn out to replace yours М30 more cheaply, than once again to buy spare parts and to do repair.
M30 Name "the big six", it was issued long enough. It was used in a wide variety of bodies, among which: E12, E28, E23, E9, E3, E34, E32 and E24. I was a sign with the person having "sea" version M30 which has been specially made for use in boats. M30 is reputed as "devourer" of camshafts and layer pads of a head of the cylinder block. But it not car problems, and its owner. The camshaft is greased with an oil pipeline fixed over it with a cavity inside bolts which tend to a blockage oil adjournment. Periodic check and cleaning of an oil pipeline and bolts is necessary.
As M30 has the pig-iron cylinder block with an aluminum head, it rather sensitive to temperature changes. What to avoid car problems it would be necessary to watch closely cooling system. Replace a cooling fluid each two years. At replacement wash out system, it is desirable to remove a radiator and to wash out it separately, carefully having cleared it outside of a dirt and insects. M30 it is very sensitive during warming up and after a stop. So be convinced that the engine is heated-up to a working temperature before to press in a floor an accelerator. Keep in mind that the engine working temperature when the temperature index is in position of 12 hours is only cooling fluid temperature, instead of oil temperature! After driving on high speeds before blanking off, allow to the engine to work a little on the single. You can assemble at this time a junk in the car and clean sun glasses. At due and timely leaving М30 easily passes 500 000 km. Without serious car problems!
Than it is possible to replace M30 (BMW E32)?
It is possible to replace the engine 735i on M30 B30 or B35 from 7 ' (E32) or 5 ' (E34). Earlier variants М30 don't approach because of distinctions in oil filter and crankcase oil pan fastening that will create car problems at installation.
You can replace with other engine serially established on E32, for example, M60 v8 or M70 v12. But it will occupy more time and besides will create much car problems. For example, R6, v8 and v12 differ an arrangement of the vacuum servo of brakes and block ABS. Replacement М30 on V8 or on V12 demands replace a gear box. To change the car easier!
Engine S38 (3.6 and 3.8) from 5 ' M5 (E34) should rise as poured in since it is based on M30. Can arise car problems with the inlet pipe duct since it takes place on the left side. On the Internet there are examples of successful installations, but usually with S38 put a manual gear box. All based on M30 Alpina/Hartge/Schnitzer will rise without problems. If at you it is a lot of money, can look for the engine from E34 Alpina B10 Bi-turbo with 360 l.s./520Nm a twisting moment.
