Knocking noise at startup in the morning

[Billy the Kid]

Hi guys long time no see - I hope you had a awesome time these last couple of weeks - I had no internet access for a quite a while due to unemployment but am employed again but it seems to me as if the beemer knows that as well, because she started to make this knocking noise during startup in the morning for about 5 sec max thereafter she is quiet. Isounds as if it is coming from the front of the engine. Can it be the oilpump that might be going for a ball of Sh!t.
After the 1st startup she quiet for the rest of the day even when I start to go home in the afternoon it just happens in the mornings.

Any idees guys?
William

Hi William

I have the same problem and I think its the bolt's on the oil pump that is loose and lying on the bottom of the sump.

I'm waiting for a sump gasket from the dealers and will let you know, but I'm sure this is the problem as the M60 engines does have this issue

Here's some links:

The problem is, we don;t even know what car he is driving?

You can find it by clicking on his username under 'My rides'

Sure it would have been easier if he just posted it or even added it to his signature.

Anyway, I did not look at the post date
