N55 ticking
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Current mods: Chargepipe Downpipe (catless) Bigger intercooler 1 step colder spark plugs (NGK) Motul 0w40 MHD Stage 1 Is the ticking normal or something I should get checked out? And if so should I go to bmw themselves or is it something I can check myself? Link: https://youtube.com/shorts/KRvIys7CBF4 Thanks! |

Noises are hard to diagnose even at the car. Best advice I can offer is have the engine listened to by a tech who will have lots of experience hearing normal noises and abnormal noises. Will add I have not heard any real ticking from my BMWs but with previous cars the engines would get ticky when the oil (factory recommended oil: Mobil 1 0w-40) accumulated around 5K miles. My SOP was to change the oil at 5K miles and after -- and with the engine and oil up to temperature -- the ticking was gone. But even before the oil was changed the noise was not really worrisome. |

- Are you the original owner? - How many KMs does the vehicle have? - Did you install the mods or the vehicle came with these mods? - If you installed the mods, did the ticking appear after a certain number months / KMs? - Have you ever sent oil for analysis? This will test will reveal if there aren unusual metal shavings present. BMWs are not inherently more unreliable than any other vehicle. The majority of vehicles are assembled from components made by a myriad of other companies. My neighbor's Maserati Levante ... now that's a different story. |
