Engine idle sound

///M4Y16 · 01-12-2018, 06:38 PM

Hi ! Sorry for my english , 3nd language .

I have a BMW M4 F82 2016 non competition with 16 000 km onboard . Today after a pause of driving the car ( aprox. 2 months ) i start the engine . I just dont like how it sounds .. first i noticed this at around 10 000km ... i will leave a video with the sound .

Second question... i will need to do the service at 20 000 km free on warranty but this year the oil will make 2 years ( bmw lifespan of oil ) and i dont drive the car that much .. should i pay right now to service the car ? ... ask me if you dont understand ... keep in mind that i have stage 1 done recently , already purchased ngk spark plugs to replace by some recommendations..

Thanks!

anyone?

does the sound go away 2 minutes after start up, or is it constant?
2 years for oil is too long, should change it minimum yearly.

every time , even after long periods of driving

The car should tell you when an oil change is required. It's either based on mileage or time. Time being one year.

You should have BMW listen to your motor, I don't think it should be ticking that loud especially after a minute or two of warm up.

That's interesting BMW of Romania has a two year anniversary policy as we here in the US have one year, it's the same motor built to same specs I assume. Strange how oil service intervals differ around the world. Good luck with the noise.

It sounds normal to me on a cold start up. But 2 years for a oil change is way too long. Definitely a oil change every year or even twice a year.

Every single car I've owned except for my Audi S4 sounded like that - present F80 included.

Mine sounds exactly like that.. slightly rattly would be my description.
I did ask my dealer to check it out, came back saying they all sound like that.
