02 bmw 325xi family car from 97k to 150k km.
- hood "kidneys" just broke from opening the hood
- 2x intake cam sensor
- exhaust cam sensor
- vanos
- valve cover gasket x2 in 40k km. some sort of heat issue?
- o2 sensor
- both front axles
- fuel pump
- oil leaking so bad my parents learned the schedule of when castrol goes on sale at canadian tire
- would blow a cloud of smoke randomly at stop lights
- PLASTIC coolant hose (from reservoir to tstat housing) cracked, overheated
- water pump bearings went, fan is attached to water pump pulley, fan self destructs, breaks shroud, hood, radiator, coolant reservoir (which has some plastic sensor that breaks upon removal).
- even the bmw logo was gone (the blue/black parts were gone, just the background silver left)
worst 50k km of any family car i've been in since I was born. thankfully they're now in a new toyota.
the new owner bought it from us dirt cheap, i contacted him about 6 months after because we got an airbag recall notice and we found the spare valet key for him. when he came and got it, i asked him hows the car, he replied back with "it started running on 4 cyl for a while and also it seized"
