F82 Noisy exhaust camshaft
Discussion
I recently had my brake fluid changed at BM Connected in Braintree, excellent service and I will definitely use them again. Matt the owner mentioned that the exhaust camshaft was one of the noisiest he had heard and should get it looked at as still under AUC warranty.
I called the local BMW dealer, Sycamore Peterborough, who told me to ring BMW assist as they would be able to get the car booked in faster than their first available date of 3 weeks time. Called BMW Assist who had a tech with me in 90 minutes. He agreed it was noisy and arranged for Sycamore to look at it tomorrow. A loan (hire)car will be dropped off at Sycamore, an M340i with a £2k excess!! I’ve taken out hire-car excess cover as it was only £25. Impressed with the service so far. I’ll try and upload the sound tomorrow before I take it in. I always thought the engine was noisy, especially on cold start-up but have not had another to compare it to.
