I'll put it in the air and take a look when I get a chance, honestly I'm not ready to declare the sky is falling just yet..

M3 Pilot's video sounds like something in the valvetrain, he doesnt raise the rpm but it certainly sounds like it. Mine doesnt change at all at rpm, but with the AC on it does it at 2000rpm and with it off it doesnt make any noise.

Could be two different noises, but its most definitely loudest at the LH front wheelwell.

Hi KJM3,

That's the noise I had. Seeing that you live in the colder area of the states the sound won't be as bad.

This noise will get louder as the temperature rises! When I had the problem I could hear the damn noise from 1 car length away on 90F+ days. Yeah it's that loud.
