feiyuan,

The noise is certainly caused by the hydraulic tappet (lifter). One of the solutions that I read from a BMW blog is to add engine additives such as Liqui-Moly Tappet Stop Noise Lubricant. I think you can go to spare parts shops to buy this type of engine additive. Give it a try as it won't do any harm to your engine.

Thats why once in a while you need to go rempit, to burn off those residuals. Some called it the 'Italian Tune-Up'.

i just use 1week truely molly oil become like this

Your engine also has a serious sludge problem. If sludge continue to build up, your engine may just seize up. Suggest you use mineral based engine oil and change the engine oil & oil filter every 2k km to flush out the sludge.
 
Need to change filter n oil every 2k... Waoo... Must mus mineral base oil to clean up the sluge......


Tmr I will go to work shop n open up the cover en see inside actually what going on.. Will update pic tmr...
 
frend of mine on E90 325i N52, oso have same problem.. tap tap tap sound... but it's not all time its happen. mostly during morning time when the engine is cold. he went to dealer then left car to check, the dealer couldn't found any problem.. diagnose oso no error appear.
 
i think you better go and do sameting fast, later on your can cant move a all, coz the oil cant circulate at all. Ah wai, in case like over sludge case..total overhauo is last medicine,,top overhaul coudnt help anymore..

feiyuan.....no pics aaarr?

these cars were under the bsri (BMW service n repair inclusive) programme when sold by bmw new.the oil chg interval was set at every 15k kms or 20k kms:stupid:.where got oil can tahan 20k kms wan?so now you are facing the effect of the service programme.

before spending rm6k....i wud do an engine flush.....or 2....or 3 flushes.....to clean up the sludge and see how it it goes.....

just hope yr engine internals not like this....oherwise koyak.......
