    Bmw e92 335i knocking sound from engine

    About two weeks ago i started getting this offbeat knocking from my engine. It sounds like it's coming from the timing chain location on top of the motor. Here's a link to the sound https://youtu.be/9QO2NUZJ4qA

    check your AC compressor...ive had them make weird noises. Factory oil filter? Does it change off idle?

    The old School method of tracking down where the noise is coming from would be to get one of those Stethoscopes and listen to different parts of the engine that you thought it was coming from so you can narrow it down, and then attempt to fix it. Because if it's the Timing Belt or Rods knocking you sure don't want to drive it too much if at all until you can fix it. Could get costly in a hurry.
