That's exactly right in this case man . It's like complaining about the clutch chatter or crackling brakes (or any other normal noise). If all other cars make them, no dealer is going to do anything about it (unless abnormally loud), whether they know the cause or not. You're being extremely OCD about it. I'm a little anal myself, but worrying about that is just crazy man. Curious? Yes. But worried? Naaah. Relax, and enjoy your car .

True, like i said brought the car in for another reason, but hey whatever it is hope they do find the issue or replace.. the car should not make the sound in the first place anyways. normal or not.

nah i am anal and to be honest id thought id mentioned it since i was in for service for a different thing... for a 70k car i have hard time of taking it in that this shit is normal..... ive own other cars and even on my friends porsche he says hes never heard that noise in hes car... but i hope its normal, but then again not ALL M3 makes that sound.

The car will make whatever sounds it will, and truthfully if one doesn't like it, then one must deal with it in whatever way that may be. Like someone else said, that's like complaining about the clutch noise, or the driveline noise, or even saying the car is too loud on start up because most other cars do not do it. There is nothing to fix on your car, especially replace. A personal suggestion I tell a lot of people who love their cars is that the more we nit pick and the more we worry, the less we will enjoy the car. I understand if a rock hits the car and scratches it, that's entirely different, but I am more referring to things that aren't caused externally. Sorry for the philosophical ending.

Do I like it? No. Does the fact that all (or most) other cars have the same noise(s) makes it right? No. But that's the reality. Many times is a bad design that may or may not cause any issues (like the idle valve), but won't be fixed unless it's proven defective. Others is a compromise between NVH and performance engineers have to make, like the dual vs single-mass flywheel, performance-oriented vs quieter valvetrain, etc. Finally, I've experienced many times another reality, which is that when trying to fix something stupid, like a rattle, I ended up with additional problems due to bad reassembly of parts, not to mention scratched leather/panels/console that conveniently 'was there' when car was dropped, when car was perfect when dropped off. So I learned that unless my car has an issue I can't resolve, can't live with it, could be detrimental to the car, and too expensive to eat it out of pocket, THEN that's when I reluctantly take it in. This is something anal people, like you, need to keep in mind . Good luck man. |

hot oil engine flush
I have a "popping" sound when i start my car. its louder when its so cold out. it only pop once. went to bmw service and they said i need a hot oil engine flush because its too humid last year here in Alberta that moisture got into my crank case (its a sealed unit). I still have warranty and they said its not covered.

FYI, I changed 2 things that seemed to have helped, so I can't point out which one is which. I had the loud clank for sure, but then switched to a lighter oil (Mobil1 0W40) and switched to a different tune by BPM.
Issue is more or less gone. And if it does make a sound, it's maybe 1/4 as loud.

I hear a loud click about 30 sec after switching off the car. It's like something is disengaging ... any idea? It has been doing for a while.
I think the loud click you heat ay start up is coming from the vanos ... solenoid valve related. BMW dismissed as normal and the age of the car. There is another thread on this subject.

Is this the sound op?
Malek's explanation seems very viable. I've heard this on at least 3 other E9X M3's in person, and on youtube exhaust start up vids, etc. It's common. Get it documented while under warranty for some peace of mind.

I just realized that this thread is from '11. Guess if the noise hasn't become something serious since then we're all in good shape.
