1. Oil Leaks: A Sneaky Problem

The M5’s S63 engine is a work of art, but even masterpieces have flaws. Oil leaks are common in models from 2018-2022, often caused by worn-out valve cover gaskets or the oil filter housing gasket. You might see a small oil stain in your garage or notice the smell of burning oil after a drive.

Our solution? We inspect every inch of your engine, from gaskets to seals. We replace faulty components with BMW-approved parts, ensuring the leaks stop for good. How long has it been since you checked for leaks? Stop by our San Leandro shop, and we’ll make sure your engine runs clean.

2. Turbocharger Woes: When Power Fizzles

You bought an M5 for power, but what happens when that power fades? The turbochargers, especially in models from 2019-2023, can fail due to heat or poor lubrication. You’ll notice a lag in acceleration or hear a telltale whine when the turbos are about to give out.

At Precision Auto Care, we get under the hood fast. We inspect the turbos, replace them if necessary, and make sure your engine is properly lubricated to prevent future failures. Losing speed when you hit the gas? Let’s fix that turbo issue before it ruins your next drive.

3. Suspension Problems: When Comfort Goes Out the Window

A smooth ride is a big part of the M5 experience. But over time, especially in 2018-2021 models, the adaptive suspension can start to fail. You’ll notice rough rides, poor handling, and a feeling like your car’s fighting you at every turn.

Our expert team recalibrates the suspension or replaces faulty electronic dampers to restore that smooth, controlled drive. You want your M5 to handle like a dream, right? We’ll make sure it does.

4. Brake Wear: Stopping Power That Fades

Hard driving takes its toll on your brakes, and the BMW M5’s high-performance brakes aren’t immune. In models from 2018-2023, brake pads and rotors wear out faster than you’d expect, especially if you push your M5 to its limits. You might hear squeaks, feel vibrations, or notice your stopping distance increasing.

At Precision Auto Care, we swap out those worn pads and rotors with high-performance replacements. If brake fade is an issue, we upgrade to ceramic pads and heat-resistant fluids to ensure your brakes perform under pressure. How confident are you in your braking power? We can make sure it’s rock-solid.

5. Transmission Issues: Slips and Shifts

The 8-speed automatic transmission is usually smooth, but in some M5 models from 2018-2021, you might notice rough shifts or gear slipping. This can be due to software glitches or low transmission fluid.

We take a two-step approach: First, we update the transmission software to fix any bugs. Second, we replace or top off your transmission fluid. Rough shifts are a thing of the past when you visit our San Leandro shop. Is your transmission acting up? Let’s smooth it out.

6. Electrical Glitches: When Tech Fails You

Modern cars are loaded with tech, and the M5 is no exception. But with all those gadgets comes the risk of electrical problems. In models from 2018-2023, infotainment system malfunctions, faulty sensors, and battery drains are all too common.

At Precision Auto Care, we’re experts at diagnosing and repairing BMW’s complex electrical systems. We’ll find the faulty sensor or control unit and fix it fast. Experiencing weird electrical issues? We’ll have your M5 back to full tech glory in no time.

7. Fuel Injector Failures: Rough Idling, Misfires, Poor MPG

Fuel injectors are crucial for your engine’s performance. In models from 2018-2022, injectors can fail, causing misfires, rough idling, or poor fuel economy. You might even notice your check engine light coming on.

Our solution is simple but effective. We run a thorough diagnostic, then replace any failing injectors with BMW-certified parts. Your M5 will idle smoothly, and your gas mileage will improve. When was the last time your fuel injectors were checked? Come by and we’ll make sure they’re firing perfectly.
