The "knock" may have been the loose plug??!!
Most likely was, had some oil around it on removal so will replace rocker cover gasket just incase, it's only £6 so would be rude not too :-)

Hello Everyone!!! :D
Recently bought my first ever BMW! a E36 328i Automatic coupe......
B) Love the way it look's, Handles & Rides B)
BUT.... :unsure:
I have problems :(
Well not me, The car.... :blink:
Firstly the exhaust, plumes of white smoke until hot n driven hard,
there's a strange knocking from front of engine (like someone's banging to get out :wacko: )
:angry: Under hard acceleration the engine just doesnt perform as it should & gearbox seem's as responsive as a comatosed turtle :angry:
Also after putting my foot down the engine wants to sleep (cuts out) <_<
And to add another spanner... the alarm keeps sounding and battery dying
(I think maybe something is draining battery which eventually causes alarm to sound)
In all honesty if it was me with all these problems I would have pulled the trigger by now!!!
If anyone can help with one or all the above it would be greatly appreciated
Many thanks people, & happy motoring
