BMW N13 engine, any issues? (114i, 116i, 118i, 316i)

Hi,

Are there any common issues, failures or similar so far on the N13 1,6 turbo petrol engine that is used in F20 114i, 116i and 118i, and in F30 316i?

I have not heard of anything yet, and as these engines now are aging it seems like they are far better than the previous generations of BMW 4-cylinder engines?

Thanks in advance for replies.

I agree. There is a surprising lack of engine failure reports in the forums. Seems like it is more robust than the previous generation.

I had issues with my 8/2012 116i:
1) turbo rattle - there was a hole in frame - LINK:

2) yesterday dealer fixed problem with leaking coolant fluid.. I added 4 liters in last month. Dealer said that thermostat cracked..they were fixing car for whole week - even had to remove tramsission.

Otherwise engine is superb. Driving like a maniac uphill and fuel consumption max 12 liters

Yes, I have a horrible cold engine rattle. And I am not the only one either.
