[QUOTE="Bigfoot-X, post: 631237, member: 26905"] Dear sifus, Sorry to bump up this thread but need to tumpang. I'm a newbie here. My intro is/was [URL="http://www.bmwclubmalaysia.com/forums/showthread.php?47885-BBBB-Bitten-By-Beemer-Bug&highlight=bigfoot-x"]here[/URL]. Took delivery of a 2004 325i (E46) about 3 weeks ago. Loving it so far. Today, I experienced the following symptoms on my E46 325i: a) Vibration after starting engine b) Acceleration seems to to be slower (speedometer needle) or I might be imagining things because I didn't really step on the accelerator. It all started when I started the car engine to go out earlier in the afternoon - I thought the idle was a little high, around 1000 RPM. Noticed a bit of vibration when I was still in my driveway and didn't think much of it. Later on, I tried again when I was going out - RPM seems to be at the normal range. Walk to the back and heard this funny noise coming from the exhaust. It's like a "put put put put ...... " sound. So I don't think its the ignition coil issue but an exhaust problem? I've uploaded a Youtube video of it [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzI4VFw9Tys&feature=youtu.be"]here[/URL]. Any idea what this issue is? Would the ignition coil issue cause the weird "put put put" sound from the exhaust? First time I've experienced this issue since I got the car 3 weeks ago. I don't think the workshops are open tomorrow (I'm in the Damansara area) and I've got to work, I might have to wait until after tomorrow to get it checked by the mechanics. Thanks sifus! [/QUOTE]
