Spring savings tips for BMW drivers from automotive market experts
Often, most BMW drivers associate the spring season with higher car maintenance costs due to winter breakdowns, which they fix only when spring begins, and the weather warms up a bit. It is no secret that cars of this brand often break down in winter, and repairs often require replacing various parts. Today, PartEvo specialists with many years of experience in the auto parts sector will tell you more about the most common BMW breakdowns typical of this period and share tips that will help drivers solve breakdowns more cheaply.
Problems caused by cold weather
The winter period often does not create new problems for BMW cars, but highlights older ones. For example, some BMW models often experience cooling system problems after winter. A great example is the N55 engine, which has a really high operating temperature. During winter, car parts get very cold, and when the car starts and reaches operating temperature, they experience repeated temperature changes, which can cause many plastic parts to crack. Perhaps the most common problem is a coolant expansion tank rupture. When this problem occurs, coolant begins to flow uncontrollably from the system, increasing the likelihood of engine overheating. In fact, the car becomes unusable. Experts say it is no longer possible to repair a cracked tank, so the only option is to replace it. And here is an important moment: the driver gets to choose whether to use an original tank or a non-original part that meets factory standards. In fact, these days, reliable manufacturers can create truly high-quality products and offer them to the market at a much lower price than the original price. So, the answer to which option to choose is probably clear, right?
Engine oil leaks
When it comes to this well-known problem, it is not even worth mentioning BMW models separately, because practically every BMW car faces it. According to experts, engine oil almost always leaks through the valve cover gasket or oil filter housing gasket. All these gaskets are naturally wearing parts that lose reliability for the same reason as the aforementioned coolant expansion tank. They experience huge temperature changes every time the car is operated in the winter. So, it is natural that the gaskets are no longer able to maintain oil pressure. However, PartEvo specialists say that, in most cases, these gaskets are not original parts, and it is worth considering alternatives to spare parts. This way, BMW drivers will undoubtedly save significant money, and the result will be equally good and durable in all respects. By the way, it is also worth noting that this problem is not very serious. Their solution is quite simple, so it can be solved by practically any car maintenance centre, and some drivers can do it themselves.
