Recently i've noticed an annoying ticking sound that really p's me off. My m3 is only months old and have been informed of a possible faulty vanos. My car is due in next week to check up on this, but im pretty sure the dealer will say no fault just me being para! Car uses optimax. [hmm Oh yeah, car went in three weeks ago for new discs (5000miles) wheels were spotless, kid you not front left wheel came back with two chipped marks minus aircap. And to top all of that heavy pull to the left... H. Fairburn BMW need a good kickin [hmm

M3tiko, see my post called Hello and problmes with new BMW 328 or something like that, I have also got a annoying ticking sound. My Engine had double Vanos and I hope this isn't the cause. Mine is getting checked out next tuesday. Good luck mate. Should not sound like that on a New M3 I wouldn't of thought :confused:

Grrrrrrrr, that damage from a $tealer is really annoying, but on a new M3 unforgivable ! get them to sort it. :mad:
Mine dented my passenger door when only 6 months old from the inside out when changing a lock , denied it :o but ended up doing a full repair & guess what - never went back !!

Hand them a pair of gloves and a shovel then. If they damaged your car they should fix it. If they wanna play silly b***ers phone up BMW GB and report them, they'll soon fix it after then. Of course, that plan is only good if you have another dealer to use instead, lol.
Sorry to hear about the ticking, I'm afraid I'm of no help.

dude never ever ever go 2 H. Fairberns they are total wankers!!!! my mate bought his m3 from there and has had nothing but hassle from day 1 and they do nothing but make things worse!
Henry brothers are by far the best dealer in scotland.
funny they wouldnt help u... when i have had hassle with the edinburgh dealers they sorted it out and gave me a refund then dealt with edinburgh themselfs.
