#28 of 77 Re: Has anyone had engine problems with their 2007 525 or 530? [sambo49] by shipo Mar 05, 2007 (5:01 pm)

Replying to: sambo49 (Mar 05, 2007 4:34 pm) I started this topic. Your problem sounds much like what happened to my close friend. He leased a 525i in early Fall. He told me the knock was noticeable till the car was warmed up. He was offered a repair but declined. He accepted a replacement engine which developed the same problem. After negotiation, BMW accepted the car back.   I think you need to contact your dealer. According to what I was told, BMW does have a suggested repair. It's worth a try.   If you want I can put you in touch with my friend.

Replying to: sambo49 (Mar 05, 2007 4:34 pm) In my case they changed the lifters and the noise continued. Now they offered me to change the engine. An expert told me that If I had this problem most probably, all the engines of this lot have the same problem.

Replying to: jacquesl (Mar 06, 2007 8:49 am) Thanks to everyone that responded to my message. The valve noise seems to have subsided the last coup0le of days, however I will take it to the dealer as suggested.   Many Thanks! Replies to this message: afishionada (Mar 09, 2007 3:15 pm)

Replying to: sambo49 (Mar 09, 2007 9:37 am) I was just going thru this thread. Now I am wondering if my engine is experiencing the same thing. I have a 530xi wagon with 7000 miles. I bought it last July. For much of the winter the engine has been making a "ticking" sound in the morning when I first start it. It has been very cold here recently and I attributed it to that. Should I be concerned? I just started it now and it is not ticking, but it is warmed up.
#36 of 77 BMW 5 SERIES LIFTER NOISE by jacquesl Aug 26, 2007 (7:02 am)
I found in you tube someone with the same problem. You need speakers to hear it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjGdBmgVDuE we are not alone with the problem
#37 of 77 BMW 5 series lifter noise by c340pilot Dec 04, 2007 (3:31 pm)
I have had the lifter noise occurring once in a while when the car is first started that day. THe service department said they performed a procedure specified by the factory, but the noise still comes back just as often. 2007 525i w/6-speed manual. It's a lease car, and the warrenty is longer than the lease, so we will see what happens. Replies to this message: shipo (Dec 04, 2007 5:32 pm)
