Replying to: cls1949 (Mar 05, 2007 7:16 pm) While this is my work week driving routine (going 2+ miles to the train station and back), it doesn't sound reasonable for a BMW engine to have this "normal" sound. I do noticed that when it is driven longer distances on a normal basis, the noise is no longer there during start up or any other point. It does come back during the week with my short trips to the train station. Anyone else hear of this explanation and think it has merit? More importantly, is this normal or is it going to have a negative affect on engine/car life? As my dealer can't fix it, I would like to be able to tell them of a fix if anyone has one.

Just a quick update on my 2007 530XI lifter noise issue. After going back too many times to mention, my dealer finally called BMW and asked for further direction after performing all the "standard" maintenance items o resolve the issue. As BMW has been hearing about this issue quite a lot, they have redesigned the value heads that can be replaced if none of the other fixes work. This is a very expensive solution ($9K+), but after many failed tries, I finally got it and seems to be working just fine (repaired 10 days ago). Thankfully, I didn't have to pay for this as it was under warrantee.

Does anyone know the engine oil capacity for the 535XI? For some reason BMW failed to provide this information in the owners manual.

Replying to: smartcpa (Feb 20, 2009 4:08 pm) There has been (as you know) problems with valve noise on these engines and there are directives for fixing it...supposedly....but it sounds like you had some issues that were a bit more serious than valve lifters sucking in air. I'd say if the noise does not re-appear then you might consider keeping it. |
