Car has 22,000 miles
Started up today found the noise bit too much or concerning.
Are my cam bolts shearing and failing?
S52 on E36 I had long ago never sounded this loud
Here is a video link to cold idle
And Hot idle after trip to lunch and back
Is it time for Valve adjustment/Vanos rebuild/Cam bolts replacement already?
Your opinions are greatly appreciated.
The car was inspected for pre-purchase at BMW retailer, notes Vanos operates well.
Car build date is May 30th, 2006
The engine built in Munich, of course, can be earlier.
