    Hi guys. Last 2 years there has been white smoke coming from the car. A friend told me this was no big deal so I've ignored it. This only happens when I drive in the city, i don't notice it when I drive long distances. Anyway today the drivetrain malfunction came on. And a knocking sound came...

    Hey guys, I'm considering buying this F30 320d 2012,the car's got about 168k km and it's in another state, so someone inspected it for me, they sent me a video of the engine running.

    Hello, Do you think is there any leak from the valve cover on my BMW B48 engine? 103k km/64k miles on it. Is it possible that the guys who changed the oil last time spilled over some of the engine oil? I noticed that the inejectors also have some oil on them. (see pictures) Thank you.

    Hi all, this is about my 2016 420i cabrio with 160K km. Engine failure due to what turned out to be sudden and very fast loss of coolant. Initially got warning signal that engine was getting hot and to top up at first opportunity. No danger or stop signals. I slowed down, kept close eye on...

    Hi all, I have an E39 with engine M54B30 which has the weirdest engine rattle. I uploaded a video for you all to hear. After a minute or so the rattle gets lesser and when the engine is warm it is as good as gone. The car almost has 500.000 km on it and thought it was the timing chain and...

  9. E60 / E61 (2004 - 2010)
    Hi, I have a 2003 E60 530i with a M54B30 engine, it has a weird screeching/rattling sound, but only under medium to heavy accelleration, or when on a slope, regardless of the car being in P R N or D. Then noise is not created when in reverse for example, I know that this car had been neglected...

    I just had the starter replaced on my 2010 528i and the day after i got it back it started making a very loud deep whine while accelerating. when at idle or low rpms there is a very distinct knocking or ticking sound. Could this knocking noise be caused by an error from the starter replacement?

    So about 2 months ago I drove through a flooded part of the road (didnt realize how deep it was) water definitely got into air intake and I drove it another 4-5 miles before reaching destination and letting it sit. Tried cranking it 2-3 x next day and it would start but eventually stall out...

    Anyone know if this is normal sounding m47 engine? To my ears its seems like there is a slapping or ticking noise? What do you guys think.
  15. E39 (1997 - 2003)
    I've just had the seals redone on my VANOS unit (M54B25) and there appears to still be leakage in the unit even with the new seals. The car does feel like it gets pretty poor gas mileage but the engine seems like it runs smoothly and there is no CEL or obvious codes. When I run a test with ISTA...
