I noticed that my BMW 3 Series engine makes a ticking noise when I start it up. It seems to go away after driving for a few minutes. Is this normal or should I be concerned?
ReplyIt is normal for a BMW engine to make a ticking noise upon startup, especially if it has been sitting for a while. This is due to the hydraulic lifters filling up with oil. However, if the noise persists after driving for a few minutes, it could indicate a problem with the lifters or oil pressure.
I had a similar issue with my BMW 3 Series and it turned out to be a faulty camshaft position sensor. I would recommend getting it checked by a mechanic to rule out any potential problems.
I have owned a BMW 3 Series for over 10 years and have never experienced any issues with ticking noises. It could be as simple as needing an oil change or a loose valve cover, but it's always best to get it checked out to be safe.
