Morning Gents,
Just recently registered to your forum but have been persusing for a while now. Awesome site
Got an unusual noise coming from the engine.
Doesn't sound like the Vanos or "tappet" noise as it is coming from deep inside the engine.
It only occurs on initial startup with a cold engine and lasts for a couple seconds then goes away.
My M has to sit for several hours and then you can hear it again whe you start the engine.
It actually sounds like the main bearings are dry and then the noise goes away as the oil pressure build in the engine.
I have taken it in to the Dealer to invistigate during its first inspection and of course they came back with a statement saying that they found another M displaying the same issue, but will bring the issue up to BMW to decide what to do if anything. Waiting to hear back......
Has anyone had a similar issue and found a resolution or am I to live with it?
