During the disassemble they said the old one was loose and later that the noise was gone. I picked it up and the noise was still there. Their next bet is the fan belt (150€) because apparently it was a bit damaged. I have my doubts. I have infinite money right, so lets try this as well! It sounds like classic valve adjustment but since this is Valvetronic this should not happen so it has to be something else. Any ideas? Here's a sound clip.

I have a same issue like Egeira has. I checked the link and it sounds exactly like mine. My car has 55.000 km. Any idea what it can be?

I drive a 2014 M135i for 54000km and now the paddle shifter showed a problem. Sometimes if I switch to manual mode and click the "-" paddle for down shift, it'll either not response or up shift. Using the gear selector to shift manually is fine, problem only occurs when down shifting with paddle. Pretty strange i'll say, anyone ever experienced similar problems?

I guess they should be able to source both air intakes and exhaust systems at your local BMW dealer?

Hi guys,

I have 116 petrol 2012 with 30000 Miles on The clock.
I just have noticed that I’m losing engine coolant.
In last month I had to top up 3 times.
I don’t see any leaks. I also have replaced the radiator cap but still the same.
That’s any one of you had similar problem.

Hi,

Reportedly, most frequent, least noticeable and easiest/cheapest to fix leak source is this thing: coolant temperature sensor. More specifically, it's the sealing o-ring (green)



to be replaced, not even the sensor itself.

Hi everyone,

As this is my first time posting on any threads or forums, I hope I am posting in the right place! Apologies if not.

I was driving home yesterday onto the motorway accelerating up to the speed limit. Next thing I know, my engine starts making this loud hammering sound at idle and when accelerating. I'm not sure exactly what has caused this and I intend taking it to a BMW garage ASAP. Just wondering if anyone might know what the cause is? I thought it might be the timing chain but I've honestly no idea. Thanks in advance!

Here's a short video of the sound

I don't think this is timing chain related. Sounds more like a leaking spark plug or something like that.

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly, appreciate your time. Yeah so you reckon the chain isn't causing that sound? As far as I know the timing chains should really last a lifetime, but after some research I've come across a lot of people having trouble with the timing chain on BMW's so just figured perhaps that might be the case. It's currently getting toed to the garage for them to have a look at it. Hopefully it won't be an expensive fix!!

I had an oil leak from the returning pipe from the turbo at 107000km, it was an O-ring fault, 10$ fix.

I have done more than 32.000 km with my M140i in 18 months, and have no issue at all. To be honest, after 4/5 months, I had a loud "clack" that came out from the rear window zone often (maybe on a bumpy road), I have removed everything, every plastic, every connector, but nothing, the clack was always there. Then, after two or three months, it disappered its own. Now it is one year that my car goes really, really well, I'm fully satisfied of it today. yeah sometimes the brakes whistle...but it's a minor issue, or better, is not an issue at all.
