You got me there Mike, it's snowing wet snow and a snow storm coming tomorrow

But who cares, I have a great winter setup.
With the snow at least it won't be so damned dark...

Waiting for you new cars pics...

That could only mean the BMWs are becoming much more reliable and many of the features that we might have pursued in the past are satisfied on the newer cars.
Just a thought.

Click sound on start up

valve opened/closed or....?

Can anyone else confirm this or is this just my car doing this......?

It's a 523i F10.

Hi,
Did you ever find out what this is? My 2015 F10 has just had its EGR cooler changed and it has made this noise ever since, it is quite loud and didn’t do it before the EGR change.
