Help Ticking sound

runthis · 01-15-2009, 01:59 PM

It's been a little cold out here in Cincinnati, and when I start my car up I here a ticking or clicking sound... anyone else getting the same thing? I call service and they said it's normal for Bmw's

Thanks

ticking sound should go away once the oil temps are warmed

It's normal when your car is cold.

make sure theres no foreign device under your car... or near your gas tank. Seen some bad things in the movies....

Thanks guys. I was getting a little worried, that I'd need to take a Jack Bauer tuck and roll from the vehicle.

Totally normal.Even when warmed up you might hear a slight ticking.Thats the direct injection.(fuel injectors)

Good to know, I was wondering that myself. LOL to the ticking time bomb!

Ticking is definitely more pronounced when its very cold outside and echos and amplified more if you parked inside of a small enclosed garage! I lowered my car with coilovers and the rear sat a little lower to the ground, the very next morning I started the car, everything hanging on the garage started to vibrate and this never happened before even with my aftermarket exhaust...The ticking also seemed to be amplified I think!!!
