Hi all,

yesterday I was cheking the oil and coolant level then I opened the oil cap and WTF this sound appears! Check the video!


Does anyone knows what is that? Someone tells it normal, but I want to be sure before I go to the garage for inspection.

Another problem is, I don't know when this starts to happen but my iDrive don't save any settings I made in it, except clock, date, and settings for lock, light and that stuff.
Radio stations and language does reset when I get from car like for 5 - 10 mins. And it's reseting the hidden menu on the dashboard. I get the lock off, and when I am off the car for like 5-10 mins it reset and I need to do the process always! It very annoys! Did someone had this problem?

For the issue of various components resetting, get a new battery and install.
About the engine noise, are you saying that noise comes and goes away OR that noise is there all the time?

Do I need to do some programming after I install the new battery?

That noise is always there. I tried on cold and warm engine, the noise is the same..

It is a good idea to get the battery registered; most of the indy shops can register the battery.

About the engine noise, that is definitely not normal. Change the battery and get that noise diagnosed.

Thanks, I will do that.

Hmm, I will go to the garage next week. And see what they tell. If anyone have this noise or dont have I will be thankfull if they say something about it.

When engine is running and you open the filling oil cup.NO SMOG suppost to be coming from the engine.Your valves are not working corretly.Valves springs need to be replaced or adjusted.

Outside has been about -8 so that is the smog. But and I think that valve springs needs to be replaced.

You drive with that sound?

Since I bought it in 2011. The official BMW shop told me that the noise is normal.

Donīt worry.
