E92 M3 new owner

Hinbungy · 05-06-2018, 09:08 PM

So i'm new to the forums, I recently bought my first BMW which I might add I already am in love with, I got a 09 e92 m3 with 62k on the odometer overall the car is amazing but I have ran into some issues. Off the bat I had to replace the DMTL pump which sucked but oh well, now I have to replace my valve cover gaskets which also sucks lucky me I have a phenomenal indi mechanic. So now the other night after some late night fun I decided to take a look under the hood and the sounds I was hearing I was kinda sketched out by so I was wondering if the noises i'm hearing are normal or if there is something I need to look out for.

Video

Thanks

P.S. I've been caught in the rod bearing fear factor so take a listen below It sounds ok to me but i'm pretty new the the M3 life so figured I would post it anyway.

Rods?

The car just has a noisy valvetrain. I don't hear anything out of the ordinary.

Sounds pretty normal to me. These cars make all sorts of clicky clack noises.
