3 cylinder engines
Discussion
Hello all. I have just got a 2016 318i Touring with the 1.5, 3 cylinder engine. It has done 23k. I really like it but a question for anyone that has one. On cold start there is a rattle from the manifold area for the first 20 seconds or so. It is between 1-2000 revs. Does anyone else have a similar noise? The car drives great and has plenty of power - mind you I have come from a Lexus Ct200h which could never be called quick. I do miss the 60mpg though

Thats interesting - thanks for the update! I'll consider not using mine now -
Just for balance, a work has recently sold his 123d with s/s. It had 130k miles on it and he had zero problems with it.Gassing Station | BMW General | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
