So the noise stops when you remove the oil filler cap? If so then it could be a vacuum leak somewhere from the emissions stuff.

Had this on my N55 335xi it was valve cover gasket.

Getting the same thing on mine as of yesterday. I'll keep you posted if I find any other info as well.

franzzz · 08-19-2019, 05:04 PM

Today i have visited my dealer.

Wait for response and solution.

Definitely crankcase pressure related since your sound goes away when you open the oil cap, my guess is a leak somewhere around the CCV/PCV or valve cover leaking somewhere.

Engine cover? Haha Tell them to take engine cover off and see if noise goes away.

How long do you run your car with that problem ?
I have the same issue.
And I don’t know if I can use the vehicle while valve cover is ready to install.

How bad is running the car. Normal drive while my valve cover is ready to install ?

I drove with this issue in my 335 for a few weeks in limp mode until I got it fixed.

This. Just had my valve cover and gasket replaced for the exact same sound, which also was "fixed" by loosening the oil cap.

Took it to the dealer after noticing the sound during road trip, drove ~500 miles between identifying the issue and having it fixed. Rode the car per my usual style and never had any issues. The sound actually goes away once RPMs rise above 2-2.5k.

Good to know my M3 might suffer from the same issue as my old 335. Wonder how common it is. How many miles on your F8x?

franzzz · 12-25-2019, 02:27 AM

Mine after 70.000Km

STOCK car. (Only CS software)

The italy price for engine cover (Mahle) was 450 EURO
