I've come across a noise on my e93 m3 which sounds a bit suspect wondering if anyone got any suggestions as to what it can be or point me in the right direction for diagnostics please listen to the video carefully from 30 seconds onwards its a slight ticking noise

Morning Abdul

Welcome (almost) to the Forum

Starter sounds a little noisy engaging, try a new one in the Dealers so you have a base line. You could use it as a negotiating point

Hi Dave thanks for the info 

It was the starter, I ended up buying the car found that on cold starts it fires right up first time but when the engines warm it takes a few turns to start it, starter solenoid over heats or something and wears out anyway job done car fires up first time everytime 

Cheers for that 👍🏼

Hi guys I've been to view 2 separate e93 m3s both with 85k mileage and both make this same noise when trying to start anyone else had this problem or know what it is I just found it a bit weird that 2 separate cars made the exact same noise
