Recommendation for 116i 2010 ?
Hi, i have a 2010 116i with about 43K miles on it. I have put about 10K already on it and the main repair i have had to do was replacing all ignition coils. I have had the oil changed regularly.
Are there any other things which i should expect to be repaired ? I plan to put maybe another 50K on it. I am more concerned about items outside the regular maintenance like oil/tires/brakes.. This is my first BMW and would like to avoid any unexpected failures. I am working in Japan as an expat and use it car for my daily driver plus adventures so want to make sure that i am on top of any repairs/maintenance. Would appreciate any feedback ! Thanks. |

One thing i wanted to add is that this past winter, i drove in Hokkaido in a snow storm with at least several inches of snow. I was not sure what to expect from a rear wheel drive and was quite pleased with the performance. I had winter tires and chains as backup and did not have to use the chains.

My main concern is something unexpectedly failing. At 50,000 KM mark, i had engine light come on and the engine was knocking. I finally had to get the car towed to a shop and turns out that my spark plugs and ignition coils (all 4) had to be replaced. Luckily, i was just going to work and not in the middle of nowhere. :--) That is why i would like to do address any items which may fail to avoid such surprises. If you have any suggestions please share. |

This car seems to be more popular in Europe especially England. I don't think if it is even sold in US. |

The N13 is basically a RWD application of the R56 Cooper S engine, made by PSA so a lot of the issues carry over. They don't superknock as often though.
- Rear flange/thermostat housing leaks - Turbo oil feed line leaks at connection to turbo - Turbo coolant lines leak at connections to turbo - Coolant leaks from the cylinder head bung (oring worn/perished) - Water pump leaks - Water pump pulley wears - Oil leak at the oil pump solenoid valve - Transmission cooler lines at connection to transmission leaks |
