M4 DCT Auto start/stop "Clunk"
As per the title.
I've noticed that when, say in traffic, and Auto stop/start is functioning the gearbox (by the gear selector) seems to make a dull clunk when the engine stops and again when it starts. I thought this maybe just the car taking itself out of 1st and into N? Now im starting to think maybe not? Does anyone else notice this noise? Thanks |

To round this one off. My car is currently with the dealers having is 1,200mile service.
I raised several "items" and so far this is where we are at; Q1. Clunk from gear box on auto stop/start. A1. Normal on F80/82 models. This is the sound of an actuator disengaging the box from D/S1 to a position not dissimilar to neutral. But not neutral. Q2. Condensation build up in both headlights. Enough to form large water droplets on the lenses. A2. A software parameter test will be undertaken. There is a certain level of condensation accepted this is due to the latest Xenon/LED headlights being ventilated form the rear due to heat. A test can be performed and if the computer confirms loss of visibility outside of a certain parameter the affected headlights will be replaced with a new unit(s) Q3. M drive "sport" display dials on screen was showing KW instead of HP. A3. This unit of measurement can be changed as required under vehicle settings >measurements/units Hopefully that may assist some people |

I'm wondering if I'll turn off the ASS. What do you gents think? I didn't buy an M4 to be concerned with fuel economy

Hi,
I have the exact "problem" It's not very good to hear that KNOCK every time START & STOP kicks in. We can say that this is actually "Normal" ?!??! Thank you |

I don't notice a clunk in mine but that doesn't mean it's not there, one thing that my DCT does occasionally in slow crawling traffic is hold 3rd for too long at very low speeds so the car starts to judder just like it would on a manual if the gear is too high and you don't engage the clutch whilst slowing down.
It also shunts into 1st when it's in a huff!

Same disappointment here
Hi there - I have the same issue and I was highly sceptical when the dealer said 'they all do that' as I do not recall it happening on the test drive (perhaps the ASS was off). I do find it annoying as it can be heard over the music and you can feel it against your leg - if anyone has had it 'fixed' that would be good to hear.
I think I expect more from BMW with an M car. |
