A couple of months ago I sold that car and got a 1M instead. Now this damn car is making the same noise...

So my question to you... Is anyone else experiencing the same noise? Is it normal? I know that some injector ticking is but this is much louder.

My current 1M.



My previous 335i. (Sorry about the VVS (Vertical Video Syndrome) :-))

OP Did you ever find an answer to that ticking/tapping noise?
