My M3 isn't a daily driver because, 2-3 short trips about town each week (mostly to the BMW shop these days), then off on long trips to the beach or ski fields. I don't drive like Grandma, although I don't drive like an idiot either... you'd get locked up pretty quick around here!

Status report: My pinging disappeared three weeks ago after some serious backroad flogging. I get that correlation is not causation, but that fact may indicate carbon build-up, possibly due to several long trips I took while nursing the throttle for gas mileage (averaged 24.2). Meanwhile, I expect to feel no more anxiety about this former problem unless and until it returns.

I have had an issue with pinging on a 2011 e92 M3 with 45000kms, easily reproduced loading up the car in 3rd or 4th around 2k rpm. Have done a fair bit of reading on this forum and others about pinging. A good 200km blast in the hills didn't help the issue.
I'm now halfway through my second bottle/tank of Redline SI-1 fuel system cleaner (after researching it vs Techron vs BMW's rebadged Techron). I've observed that as I got to the end of the first bottle, pinging had definitely reduced. At this point I've not observed any pinging at all in the last two drives while attempting to reproduce it. Might be worth a go. |

GYY95M3, have you tried replacing the low-pressure fuel sensor? Part # 13537622231

As far as I'm aware the BMW Techs have never replaced such a part.

Will do the engine mounts when I do my RBs in the future. At 120K mi. now (knock on wood). Let me know what you find the next time it's on the lift. |

For reference, I have this pinging and have new plugs, new bearings, newest software, new motor mounts and use top tier premium gas (usually shell) with an OEM Mod stock exhaust. I also replaced all fluids and filters within 10k miles (oil changed 3 times during that period).
I am curious about the low pressure fuel sensor (LPFS) mentioned above and will look for others who have replaced it to see what that fixes/cures. Found a discussion which some posts sounds similar and some don't but one poster replaced the LPFS and it solved the noise for him. See here, later in the thread: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthr...re+fuel+sensor Best part is he said it was a 30 minute job and cleared the noise and smoother idle.

If my ping returns, I'll try replacing the LPFS.

Thanks. I'll keep this in mind if my pinging returns.

Just replaced my spark plugs and coil packs, no difference with the pinging. I’ve had this for about 60k miles. It’s gotta be something simple that we are overlooking.

I have changed the following but i can still catch the slight pinging/rattle (with the windows down). Note that i didnt change the items of the pinging/rattle but the usual wear and tear replacement ...
1) conrod bearing 2) top valve covers and gasket 3) spark plugs 4) tried octane boosters to 100ron 5) decarboniser (using gas type) 5) flogging the car (although it seems to help abit but it comes back) Noticed that the pinging is more prevalent during hot days. Is there any possibility that the pinging/rattle is coming from the gearbox/clutch rather than the engine? |
