The BMW 4 Series is a mixture of luxury, performance, and advanced technology. Still, like all cars, it can develop some mechanical issues with time. We at Fremont Foreign Auto in Fremont, CA, have made it our business to solve these problems and keep your BMW running optimally. Below, we outline the most common problems faced by 4 Series owners and how our expert technicians address them.
Transmission Problems
Most BMW 4 Series models tend to develop noise or vibration when the gear changes due to wear and tear of parts or a torque converter out of adjustment. Neglecting these problems will result in more serious damage. In our facility, we check the faulty parts and adjust or install them accurately to get your transmission operating just like it should.
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Failures
DPFs can clog in diesel models over time. This can lead to poor performance and visible smoke from the exhaust. Replacements or cleaning of DPFs are very important for optimal functioning. Our shop uses advanced diagnostics to identify and address these problems promptly.
Cooling System Failures
The cooling system in a BMW 4 Series includes the water pump and thermostat, which are responsible for the very important role of maintaining your engine at the right temperature. Eventually, these engine parts will fail due to wear and tear, which allows overheating or coolant leakages to occur. The warning signs include quickly rising temperature gauges with visible coolant beneath your car. At Fremont Foreign Auto, we provide timely replacements for these parts, ensuring that your engine is protected from excessive heat.
Crankshaft Position Sensors Problems
A bad crankshaft position sensor prevents the engine from operating properly or stalls it. This is a crucial component in the vehicle’s performance, and our experts offer replacements using high-quality OEM parts to avoid long-term damage to the engine.
Suspension Wear and Thumping Noises
Due to the fact that so much technology is involved, an adjustment of rear suspensions may sometimes lead to stiffening on 4 Series BMWs, mainly after 100k-mile markers are met. Thumping, however, while driving on a bumpy road due to a worn suspension component commonly informs one of its well-being. We replace malfunctioning actuators and worn parts to restore a comfortable drive.
