So it's not rod bearings, not cats (x pipe) not valve lash, and not injectors etc. It's probably not the idler pulley or the heat shields. So WTF is it??? Getting tired of my M3 sounding like a 500k mile Honda
During currently the warmest Summer for ages (which is like 32C in Sweden), I also started to notice some of this ticking. Didnt worry me as Ive seen its been around with plenty cars, but still nice to hear you have taken some of the suspect areas away. And hey, easy enough to turn the wheels should it get too anoying...
