Reliability

The 3 Series is reliable for a German car. The M20 and M50 I6s are durable. The M52 and M54 have cooling system issues. The N52 is reliable but has valve cover and oil filter housing gasket leaks. The N54 twin-turbo has high-pressure fuel pump and wastegate issues—avoid early N54s. The N55 is better. The N20 has timing chain guide issues on early models—avoid. The B48 and B58 are excellent—reliable and powerful. The 8-speed auto (ZF 8HP) is superb. The 3 Series is a reliable sport sedan.
