Additionally, electrical system failures can be caused by water damage or corrosion, which can damage electrical components. Let’s take a closer look at the top four culprits of electronic i ..read more

Ignition coil failure is a common issue in BMWs, and it can cause a range of problems with your vehicle’s performance. An ignition coil in a BMW is an electromechanical device responsible for transforming the low-voltage energy from a vehicle’s battery into the thousands of volts of electricity. This is needed to power the spark plugs and ignite the air/fuel mixture in the combustion chamber. This ignition coil is critical for efficient engine operation, as it creates sparks that drive ignition timing and facilitate proper combustion. Without a functioning ignition coil, your BMW may experienc ..read more

BMWs are known for their luxurious feel and performance on the road, but what makes them run so smoothly? Part of it has to do with the BMW cooling system. The BMW cooling system has several components that work together to keep the engine at a regulated temperature, even when things start to heat up. The main component of the BMW cooling system is the radiator. The radiator contains a liquid coolant that helps to dissipate heat from the engine. The coolant is circulated through the engine by a water pump, and then returns to the radiator where it can be cooled again. Finally, the fan helps to ..read more

Depending on the time of the year it fails, your driving experience can become unpleasant and frustrating. Knowing the symptoms to look for will help save you from the brutal summer heat or freezing winter cold. Let’s dive deeper into how to recognize a failing HVA ..read more

The water pump is the heart of a BMW’s cooling system. It circulates the coolant through the engine block, cylinder heads, and radiator. If it fails, your BMW will overheat and cause major (and expensive) damage to the engine. Let’s discuss the functions of the water pump in your BMW, why it may fail and what to do when it fails. What is the function of the water pump in a BMW? The water pump is responsible for circulating coolant to keep your engine cool. (Coolant is usually made of antifreeze and water combined.) The pulley on the front of the water pump spins the impeller inside. The impell ..read more
