I just bought a used BMW X3 and I've noticed a tapping noise whenever I accelerate. It doesn't seem to affect the performance but it's concerning. What could be causing this and is it something I should be worried about?
ReplyHi Samantha, congratulations on your new BMW X3! The tapping noise you're experiencing is most likely caused by worn out engine components such as valves or lifters. It's not something you should ignore as it could lead to bigger issues down the road. It's best to take your car to a trusted mechanic for a thorough inspection.
Hey Samantha, tapping noises can also be caused by low oil levels or dirty oil. Make sure to check your oil levels regularly and get an oil change if needed. If the noise persists, then it's best to have a mechanic take a look.
