Ticking noise at idle

Bosco4753 · 12-19-2017, 09:24 AM

Hi,

Im a new member and have recently bought a F80 CP in San Marino Blue, I love the car and have had a number of M cars in the past.

The car has a ticking noise coming from the engine in idle mode, I've been told they all do it, I've never had it on any of my other cars and wondered if anyone else has the same issue.

The car has done 5k miles and was run in properly.

Pete.

Totally normal lifter tick. It generally goes away when the engine is fully warm.

Its not a lifter ticking... all bmw engines have a High Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP) which is driven by the camshaft, every time it does one full revolution it pushes a plunger which causes that noise you're hearing.[IMG][/IMG]
