Oil use on the S58 All years One source so far
What to check: Ask how often the oil has needed topping up, and check the level.
Euro Premium Parts says the S58 can use oil between services, especially when revved hard or tracked, and that more than a quart every 1,500 miles needs looking into.

A ticking high-pressure fuel pump All years One source so far
What to check: Listen for ticking or rattling from the fuel pump at a cold start.
Euro Premium Parts reports the noise on early cars, which BMW addressed with a software update in some markets, and a faint wastegate rattle at cold idle that is noise only.

Leaking adaptive dampers All years One source so far
What to check: Look for oil on the dampers and an uneven ride height.

Cracked carbon-ceramic brake rotors All years One source so far
What to check: On a car with carbon-ceramic brakes, have the rotors inspected closely for cracks.
