It's in the shop getting a new bottom end. I think they are replacing everything except the head. Does anyone know if the engine blocks are shipped with or without heads. I.E are they rebuilding my bottom end or are they taking a factory bottom end. |

The main reason I had it checked out by the dealership was to have the noise documented....oil pump or not. If she blows up before the warranty is out, so be it. I would expect BMW to make good since the proper maintenance is being followed, and no modifications have been made. The car will be sold before the factory warranty is up. In the meantime, I will continue to enjoy driving it rather than worrying about it. |

Just dropped off the car again today. The service writer said they will be replacing the crank and bearing.....but sounds like that does not solve the problem. This is their second attempt at fixing this problem. The first was loosening some bolts in the oil pan and retorquing the bolts back down.

Surprisingly large sample number here.. interesting.
Woah.. how'd it all go down? Everything turn out ok in the end? Also find it kind of funny that there's a need to include ZCP.. maybe only cars with ZCP wheels and suspension package are affected

This is starting to worry me as I have a 2011, now I'm listening to the engine too much. Since all of these happened after the first service, and knowing there have been many oil change nightmare threads- could it be possible they've been putting the wrong oil in and causing failures?

Well, the problem was, I was experiencing a different sort of noise, which was even more annoying than the clicking noise. So I went back to Chevron 94 and guess what the noise back. Ugh. |

The only reason everyone's car hasn't been recalled because the problem isnt widespread enough to do so. Remember that scene from Fight Club? They will just fix the ones that have problems because it is cheaper overall. -JM |

Got it too
Just did a listen on my newly ED'd 2011 e93 and I have the clicking but it's not random. At idle it's a tick,tick,tick,tick,tick. And I can only hear it loud at the drivers side wheel well. I don't totally remember it but I have heard it with the top down and ignored it. But def there.
Not sure if it's aligned with revs as I'll need to find someone to rev it while I listen |

when I rev my engine in neutral past 2K the idle drops past 1K slowly, this never happened before. Also i hear a very faint puff noise, not a metallic tick but puffish.
Anyone have similar idle rev drops and hear the puff in theirs?

Update: The local dealership had the car for 5 weeks now. On week 4, I called BMW client relations and inquired about a buy back. They called back a few days later and agreed to buy back my girlfriends 2011 M3 with 6k miles.
Just placed an order for a 2012 M3. Hope it does not have the same problem.

Better them buy it back than have your car sit in the shop for 1+ month, "maybe" solve the problem and get a Carfax the size of a textbook.
