I think it is serious issue and want to gained more opinion before I would proceed with the next big step(meaning rob the bank and repair all the wear and tear on my car one shot). I own an 2002  E46 318i Facelift and below are the list of my UDM's 'obvious' issue:-1) When I start the engine in the engine is cold/cool/morning time, there is a loud knocking sound but lasted only 1-2second. This happen only when the engine is cold and doesn't happen when the engine is heated.2)After the car travelled for some amount of distance( 1 hour drive or more) and the engine get hot(not overheated but very hot), the engine oil warning(red) started to come out and can feel noticable vibration of the engine even when the car is stopped in 'N' mode ('D' mode is even worse). The thing is, the temperature meter pointer never move from the half point of the temperature meter and doesn't show that the engine is overheated.3) The car will get a 'diesel engine' sound when it hot. I have check and it's coming from inside the engine and not the pulleys.3) Is it normal if the engine oil depreciated(min level) after about 5000 - 7000 km usage from max level? I use MOBIL full synthethic engine oil.After reading the past post, I suspected the loud sound is maybe from tensioner and the diesel sound is from the alternator bearing... but I think it is best to get as much as info before I send my UDM to the hospital for surgery or the doctor may sent the janitor to do the conjob on my UDM without me even realize it. So please sifus and sifis, give as much opinion as you can... Help!!! Thank you very much in advanced.</p></blockquote><p></p>
