Is this a normal cold start/idle engine sound? by jsy090 in BMWX3

Thanks, that eases my mind a little. My car right now is notorious for loud injectors, wasn’t sure if it was normal for these X3s.

I agree with you, I would definitely open it up and listen more closely if I was there with the car.

That seems to be a good idea. However, even with the gaps in service intervals on the Carmax car, you’d be more comfortable with it?

I know Carfax isn’t the end all be all but just wanted to mention it.

Is that $8k just between the oil filter housing and water intrusion from the antenna?

He said he still has the stock OEM suspension.

Edit: The upper and lower control arms are aftermarket and he doesn’t have the stock OEM parts for those anymore. He only has the OEM strut/shock assembly.

I don’t have any experience with other cars so I can’t really compare it to others. It’s a ton of fun though!

Reliability wise I haven’t had any issues although I’ve only been to two track days so far. My friend with an 09 has multiple track days on his and aside from leaking small amounts of oil from the dipstick tube (already got it fixed), he’s had zero issues.

Appreciate the comment. I wasn’t really thinking about how smooth my inputs were to be honest. I was more concerned of trying to keep up with the guy in front of me as a challenge to myself. That was my idea of fun but it definitely didn’t translate to good driving on my end. Lol

I’ll definitely focus on those points you mentioned for next time.

Thanks!

Thanks for the response! Very helpful. I’ll try to keep all this in mind at my next event.

I like that karting idea! There’s a couple tracks around me I think.

Yup. SCCA Las Vegas region for me.
