What's weird is that I haven't been able to get it to do the louder longer rattle that so concerned me awhile back. I know we call it a cold start issue, but could ambient temp be a factor? Its been in the mid 90s and higher for the last three weeks and I haven't noticed the issue during that time. Before the heatwave I noticed it every cold start. Or is it just that random?

IMO, the noise you're hearing is exactly the same as the one Anom3 was experiencing. You may want to explore his coding changes if you'd like to be rid of it.

I never had the rattle clunk noise , only the single clunk and only when the engine is cold . It's not about the ambient temp , it's all about how long your car was not driven , because I can hear it in summer and winter . My car is not my DD , so normally I have every single time the clunk noise, when not using the brake procedure. But....when I drive my car 2-3-4 days in a row , I don't have the clunk noise. I also noticed when I drive a longer distance about 100-200 miles I don't have the clunk noise for about 7-10 days . Is your car your DD ?

Bradley, I agree completely. The video I posted is about as quiet as the noise gets. Its been much worse before....not sure why the change.

When you think about it, a few individuals on bimmerpost have unwittingly, but collectively destroyed the value of every single M3 out there. Great for new and would be buyers or people like me who will finally get hands on cheaper parts, but still makes one wonder. Bearing scare has likely costed a lot more value destruction compared to the probability adjusted cost of replacing bearings. Be careful of what you wish for and that too much "help" or "focus on a problem" may have unintended consequences.
There are "friends with benefits" and "acquaintances with downside". I think M3 owners have been victims of the latter. Quote:

If the value goes down enough, I'll be able to buy a couple spare M3s to scavenge parts off of and drive my car forever!

So a week ago I added about half a quart of Lucas synthetic oil stabilizer. Haven't heard the noise since!? While the sound varies, I don't think I've ever had a cold start without at least a single clack, but none since I added the Lucas. Possibly a coincidence since I haven't let the car go more than 36 hours without driving, but in the past it's only taken 4-5 hours of sitting to make it happen. Keeping fingers crossed and will report back if the noise returns.

not going to say if its good or bad, but:
be careful with that stuff... it tends to quiet the motor (not just of bmws / m3s, all motors) because it in essence thickens your oil up... quite a bit. 10w60 is already quick honey like (when cold)... Quote:

Surprisingly I searched for info on Lucas and couldn't find much of anything on here. I know its popular with the domestic guys but does anyone have any experience with it in the s65? I put it in because I noticed a little more valve noise on startup with the 5w. It seems to have done the trick.

So you went thinner only to go thicker again? Most people don't use/need Lucas oil stabilizer because they just choose the correct weight to begin with.

Do you think there is any drawback to the stabalizer other than the slight rise in viscosity? Keep in mind I only added half a bottle. I didn't really like the way the car sounded once up to temp and I figured I'd add a little at a time to see if it quieted it, which it did....but I'm trying to find that line where I get some extra cold start protection but don't get too thin when the temp goes up. Things sound and feel better now so I'm going to ride it out like this until my next uoa and see where my viscosities are.

You just have to trust your oil I guess, Ferrari 458 Italia revs to 9000RPM, makes 125hp/liter, and it's not blowing up all because the same oil you have in your car. Last edited by Leonardo629; 07-03-2015 at 05:18 PM.. |

I had a the same noise as a video, but not as loud. This incident happened after not driving the vehicle for 5+days.
I am going to try this method , and I will post it as well. thanks. Quote:

For you 6MT guys, I think I might have pinpointed my problem. If I start the car and disengage the clutch very quickly I don't get the clunk. I've messed around with releasing it a bit and if I leave the clutch fully depressed on start up (like most normal people do), I get like 3-7 clicks. A few times I noticed that when I did it slower, but before the revs jumped up I would catch the clunks and feel it in the pedal.
Could be a throw out bearing or something with the clutch sticking? |

After fixing my starting issue I was laid back and felt awesome because I don't have single issue anymore So then ///M Power-Belgium caught the clunk noise on one of my starting related video I wasn't paying attention too much since I was worrying about the starting issue.
Since I don't have anymore problems, I start focusing on this unique and beautiful m powered cold start "clunk" noise this one tricked by German So my car is sitting on the garage about 7 days and i decided to do "no make sense" Brake and shift trick on my 6MT before i start the car. And 99% i hear the clunk after parking the car like 2 or more days on cold starts. So i recorded the video and i tried first the brake trick and then change my gears from N to 1 then 6 then N again. Press the clutch and started. Va'Laa no clunk As i read brake trick usually works for DCT and the shift works for the 6MT i guess. I did both anyway. Car starts on 0:25 sec.
