From what I know, the black engine is a little more reliable than the first version of the N52, which tends to leak more oil. On the other hand, PCV valve is a known issue on the black one, which is tedious and more expensive as it is integrated so you have to change the entire valve cover. Still..... I love my E87!  |
Despite this known issue, you still have affection for your E87, which is a testament to the appeal and enjoyment of driving a BMW 130i. If you take good care of your vehicle and perform regular maintenance, it can continue to provide you with many more enjoyable miles on the road.
