Strange popping sound
Posted: Thu May 19, 2016 9:48 am
Morning all I hope you are all well.
My 2009 30D M Sport has developed a strange popping sound when the vehicle is up to normal running temperature! The sound is like a rhythmic bass drum beat and is very noticeable at idle from outside the vehicle. The issue doesn't not appear to be affecting performance or causing any other issues that I can tell at this point. The noise is definitely from the front somewhere I though it may have been exhaust related but you can not hear the pop through the tail pipes so I gues not.
I've booked the car is for a health check with my local dealer but they are quite busy at the moment and won't be able to see the car for two weeks so in the mean time I thought I would seek some advice from the good people here. I've attached a link to a short video I have made and hopefully you can hear the noise (headphones give best result) and give me some potential pointers.

If anyone can tell me how to embed the video I will update the post.
