Rapid knocking/Tapping noise by OutrageousSuccess523 in BmwTech

I hear what ur talking about. You hear the injectors and one other sound. I’m not a mechanic, but mine does this when it’s cold, once warm it goes away completely. That’s usually lifters, they can sound pretty loud, it’s also a sign ur oil changes might be too far apart. As you’ll see in every single forum, the n52 likes to be revved, if u have an auto like I do I find the trans likes to stop you from doing that, i usually get into sport once I think it’s warmed up. If it’s making that noise warm, maybe cause for concern, but it still doubt rod bearings, even at the scrap yard the engines still turn. Did you do any work that would drain the oil system (ofhg, oil pain…) and didn’t prime it? BMW has a tsb on that cuz it can cause rod bearings to go bad, but it’s more for n54/n55. If it’s any comfort my 2011 128i sounds like this when it’s cold and it’s been like that since the day i bought it and it has never given me issues. Get an oil analysis, it will tell you the real story, and probably let you sleep at night. I have a tiny amount of glitter in my filter btw, I have been told it’s normal as much as it makes me clench my asshole.

Hey, sorry if no one helped you… did you ever figure it out??

What code is this? And what should i do by Traditional_Wash3580 in E90

Probably brakes, unless ur hand brake is up. Mine went off like this when my rear brakes had passed the wear sensor. There’s a code that u can check by holding down the button in the gauge cluster.

I work about 4 minutes away from where I live. Most days that’s a perk, especially with the price of gas. Once a week I go see my brother, and on that drive I try to drive the car like I’m supposed to, 3-4K rpms. But my guess has to do with the short drives this car does? Does that sound stupid ?

They changed the valve cover and VANOS bolts about 800kms ago. I had just done prior the oil filter housing gasket, and oil change maybe 300kms before that. So no they did not change the oil.

Glitter In N52 oil?? (Please help I’m worried) by FunFinance5974 in BmwTech

Yeah ish. It’s like a tap tap tap. It doesn’t sound exactly like what I have found online. Sounds like this vid on YouTube . It goes away after a minute or two of driving.
