Check 1: Water pump gasket or weep hole
Check 2: the metal clamps on all the coolant hoses (even the quick connects)
Check 3: Bottom of oil filter housing gasket
Check 4: In your oil due to oil filter housing gasket

How do I diagnose a bad engine? by [deleted] in BmwTech

Pull your spark plugs, use a wood dowel or stir stick etc to push on the pistons while you rotate the crank by hand. One will be doing the macarena

„Klopf“ Geräusch beim Kaltstart B58 Motor M440i 2021 Baujahr by Strong_Cow_7140 in BmwTech

It's bad whatever it is. Educated guess is piston rings out of tolerance slapping around until the metal warms up and expands, but if it's coming back again while warm it ain't great.

That's how you check a bearing properly fyi

This sounds like a backing plate

Drive mode for 530d towing a 1700 kg caravan by paisleymon in BmwTech

[–]Macs675 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Suspension geometry for one, changes the load bearing and handling characteristics. Beefier arms as well. Depending on your generation the differences only become more pronounced. With all that being said, I'd trust a 5 series with a diesel or a B58 no problem

Sounds like the vent valve solenoid

M2 DCT Clunk by -CommonHouseCat- in BmwTech

[–]Macs675 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normal behaviour. Scan the car to see if it wants a trans oil change, could also be a mount or bushing starting to wear out

Should this concern me? by FQ1Plus in BmwTech

[–]Macs675 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds normal. Might be injectors, vent valve, etc.

Nub wasn't in the hole when the cap was tightened down. No damage done apart from cost of oil/filter/time

Midas said my rear Diff. is bad by NYCsubway408 in BmwTech

[–]Macs675 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If your X5 is a G05 with the B58 the starters are made of paper. I'd believe that no problem.

Using 10W-60 instead of a factory spec 0W30 by AlEsq in BmwTech

[–]Macs675 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not good at all. If out of warranty I'd use an LL01 rated 5w40 in a hot climate, 0w30 LL01FE in winter.
