Doesn't sound right

Dan Bilzerian · 03-08-2016, 10:47 AM

After I'm driving for roughly 30 minutes or so the engine gets quieter I don't know if I'm experiencing loss of power or not the engine just doesn't sound right.. After I shut it off it resets or something, I am completely confused. Just had an oil change at BMW lol so apparently they didn't see anything immediately wrong. Also cleaned Vanos pretty recently.

Any helps appreciated,

Thanks.

Edit; Feels like power loss for sure now but still kind of subtle.

A warmed up exhaust will sound quieter. Probably what you are experiencing.

Nope not that lol it's the engine forsure. I'm not hearing the same sound from the intake as I was before when that happens which is usually around 3k

After it happens don't shut it off and scan for hidden codes. Carly picked up codes my DashCommand app never did.

Although they should stay stored so may not need to replicate symptoms.

Haha thanks! I finally found it, I just really didn't want to take off the engine cover which is what I eventually ended up doing to get to the screw.
