Hey guys,

I bought my first car (316 compact) and it was fine, a couple days later and around 20 miles its making a really weird and dodgy sound? My mate who's a mechanic had a quick listen and he says its likely a lubrication issue. as it was, there was low oil in the sump? we had a look around and no signs of leaks at all?

he has advised me to get a bmw professional to have a good look and listen, even strip the engine down?

Im not sure i can quite afford to spend the high fees ive been quoted. Any help/advice is highly appreciated at the moment

Many thanks :)

      Knocking noise top of engine.

      Hi, I have this knocking noise on the top of the engine. It started with a low knocking sound then it got progressively worse until I stopped and got recovered. New top turbo 3k miles ago and fresh oil change. Car seems to be all working fine apart from the aggressive knocking. Any ideas? 2013 x5 40d 110k on the clock. IMG_6024.mov

      Electrical issues

      You haven't given much away here ? But Welcome to the Forum anyway I know there have been a number of recalls since 2020, here I am assuming (dangerous) that all yours are up to date ? I have read of several incidents of SME faults 21F21F seems one of the most common with PHEV. Why BMW seem to deny there are issues I just don't understand. Check the US sites they may have more information due to Class Actions in the USA manufacturers tend to move faster with fixes and Recalls Good Luck Dave
