    Just got to suck it up ...and wait for Sasha to wave a wand over Roy Moore.

    Sorry I completely forgot about this.. I feel like an idiot because everyone told me it was a sticking lifter and I didn't believe them. Well I was wrong Ive never heard a stuck lifter sound so bad, but lesson learned. MY fault.... Oh well car is almost back together.

    Capture the sound on video? I have a noise coming from a s52 and dont feel like tearing apart the motor just yet. how did you determine it was the lifter? Did you replace the lifters all together?

    You need to decide if the noise is under or above the car.

    Additionally, Lifters and rods will sound way different. It’s hard to explain but a knock over a tick.

    The lifter noise will persist until you have enough oil pressure to fill all the lifters.

    Sorry ABQ forgot about this. I do have the sound on video if you still need it. Oh, and how did I figure it out?
    I got pissed at the car. Seriously. Went into my garage in the middle of the night and decided I was going to rev the shit out of the car till something broke. Was so fed up. Well I revved the piss out of the car and after bouncing off the limiter for a minute, I let off... and silence.

    Car is doing good. Back to pissing off the local V8 mouth breathers.

    Also, sold my 135i. Looking into picking up another E36 M3 as a daily. Or I have $13k to drop on the racekar..... Decisions decisions..

    Interesting on giving up the 135 and going to a 20 year old DD that won’t be much fun compared to your fun car. I have a modded 08M3 to compliment my turbo 99M3 - very different high revving NA motor but if you work it hard it is fun. I want whatever car I drive much to be a lot of fun — I drive each about 6-8k miles per year. I’d like a modded E63 AMG BiTurbo and a 991.2TT but don’t quite have the funds.

    The E36 M3 is probably the most fun car I have ever driven. I liked the 135 a lot, was a very fun car and very quick with FBO. But it just was missing something. Not even sure I can put my finger on it. Ive driven E46 M3s, 135s, 335s, e9x m3s, etc.. They all just lack something the E36 has. Maybe Im just a weirdo... but some of my most memorable driving experiences came in my E36 M3 back when it was still NA. I want to relive that... Im hoping that finding a clean, low mileage example will do that for me.
