I am one of the earlier posters on this topic and had my engine block gasket replaced. To summarize, that didn't fix anything. However, the noise eventually went away on its own... or I stopped paying attention.

Now recently, oil change was done and the noise is back. Again, I kind of stopped caring about this, although it is annoying.

I wonder if new oil has anything to do with this phenomenon...

it sounds like its certainly possible that something to do with an oil change causes this noise as mine first appeared the same day I had my 1200 mile service done. i believe it first happened to several forum members after oil changes

If you read my earlier posts, mine also started after the break-in oil change.

I'll also say, I found this thread soon after my 1200 mile oil change and noticed the noise. I also noticed it after an additional oil change around the 5500 mile mark. I send that sample to black stone and it was a bit high for copper but had no traces of lead. Honestly I stopped worrying about the sound until I find some solid evidence. I'll be changing my oil again soon which will be around the 8000 mile mark. I'll post what black stone says about my sample.

Since getting an oil change, the sound is almost negligible.

Interesting. I will maintain 5000 miles oil changes and blackstone analysis. Cheap insurance, and it provides actual data on the condition of the engine.

Ok, so after driving the car for a second day - the sound is completely gone.

I tried and tried and couldn't replicate the sound on my first video.

Maybe, the best way to deal with this is to forget about it. I've put on 40k km (about 25k miles) since the noise started (at around 2k km, or 1.2k mile mark). No engine related issues so far... *knock on wood*

So my 2011.5 is starting to tick again. To recap, I had this issue at around 16k miles and BMW rebuilt the bottom end replacing the crankshaft and bearings. Everything was good. Now I'm at 31k miles and I hear the intermittent ticking at low revs when my engine is fully warmed up again. This is really starting to get frustrating.

Your experience would lend credence to the argument that someone put forth that the issue with the S65 is bedplate deflection under high loads imposed at high rpms which leads to the oil film disruption in the main bearings. What did your main shells look like when you had the problem before? Were some (on one end) worn more than the other? Was there wear on a top shell on one end and bottom shell on the other?

Well I hate to say this, but i'm starting to think it's not the crank/bearings.

If my oil is up to temp, and the ambient temps outside is below 75F - the ticking is gone. Over that temp and I hear it. Whatever is making that sound is affected by ambient temps. This may be the reason not everyone is hearing it. I have tried this theory a dozen times and it holds.

Cool mornings and my 11 mile (50mph) drive to work - I hear nothing.

I don't get it.

I just had my first service on my 2012 and started hearing clicking/popping noise also. Only happens after the engine is warm. I'll just keep tabs on it, I'm under warranty so not sweating it.

I believe that is a good attitude to have, but we are talking about a $75k car. I plan on keeping my M3, and I would like to figure out what this is before my Warr goes bye bye. Plus I am OCD to the nth degree.

BMW has this policy about clicking M series.



SA: Actually, grease monkeys don't worry about clicking, 'cause modern cars don't click.

OP: Sorry. "Grease Monkeys"?

SA: Technicians. But when a car vibrates, then the grease monkey's gotta call BMW NA.

OP: My car... was vibrating?

SA: 9 times out of 10, it's a cell phone set to silent, but every once in a while...



SA: [Whispering] It's a dildo. Of course, it's company policy never to imply ownership in the event of a dildo. We have to use the indefinite article "a dildo." Never "your dildo."

OP: I don't own a...

I also agree that this issue is probably unrelated to crankshaft and might be just oil cap or something extremely cheap/simple that you made a big deal out of and now your M has gone through so much that its not as "pure".

I'd sell this car or not be OCD when it comes to it as it will continue.

What repairs? The only part replaced on my car to date was an oil level sensor?
