Rough idle ??

MantoM3 · 12-22-2010, 09:39 PM

Well I am new to the M3 world and still getting used to the car. It is very different from my EVO 9 that i sold a few weeks back. When I am parked the car has what seems to be a ruff ideal, not ruff like cutting up. but almost like a ticking sound its really hard to even explain. there are no lights on the dash so I am assuming all is okay.

I have always been over paranoid about my cars but I thought I would ask

Ah, thanks for clarifying. I had no idea what he was referring to originally.

OP: Our engines idle with a rough and metallic character, especially when cold. It's nothing to worry about.

Thanks guys I feel like such a green horn I went from a car i knew inside and to not knowing a thing about this car. Sorry about my spelling errors, I am doing a million things at once. Ya I freaked out you can almost feel it in the shifter, not a fan of it

i also noticed that coming from my 335 and years of supras. The M3 is definitely a noticeable idle.
