someone please confirm this for me!..
hey guys i have a dct 09 e92 m3 with about 19xxx miles on it.. i have several problems with the car like 2nd gear lag.. ( dealer refuses to give me a dct software update) endless clunking noises.. and recently i have read the ticking thread and i went to go check my m3 and noticed i had a ticking noise as well.. so of course i had to make a video and ask the experts here on m3post.. anyway please guys let me know if this is the main bearing problem that i have been hearing so much about.. i plan on scheduling an appointment to bring the car in sometime this week so i would love to know if this is a problem before then so i am well prepared... anyway thanks in advance guys!
Here are the 2 videos i uploaded.. ohh and does anyone know how to upload hd videos through the iphone4? it says wifi is required and i am connected to wifi.. it just wont let me click the hd option before i upload... do i need to change a setting? |

Vidoe one sounds normal to me, Video two sounds like top end, maybe lifters, it's definitely half engine speed.

Main bearing noise is not a “tick”. You’ll know the difference if you ever spin a bearing. Both the injectors and the valve train generate some ticking-like noises. If the car runs good, drive it and don’t worry about it.
