Hi people,
I recently bought a Z3M with 46k on the clock, its a Jan02 build
When i pulled up this evening i heard a ticking noise which didnt sound right. I've literally had the car for a few weeks so not sure if its normal or if its developed since i purchased it.
What i have noticed is it seems to disappear at certain revs and be quite clear at others. It definately increases in speed with the engine. The sound is coming from the middle left of the rocker cover or the left hand side of the block
Any idea what this could be? could it be early signs of bearing shell failure?(been doing alot reading on this recently so i'm probably looking for faults!)should i even be driving it??? It still feels healthy to drive, no lack of power/lumpy idle etc..
Here's the vids, first at idle then one at different revs. You can quite clearly hear the noise.
26secs in the most:
