Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    I noticed a very distinct ticking noise when my E46 was idling yesterday and my first thought was tappets. Are they prone to going on this model, what should I be looking to do about it? If not tappets, then what other possibilities are there? Paranoia? :)

    Could be an exhaust manifold leak. I had this and was convinced it was the valve train.
