That is an unfortunate turn of circumstances. I wish you a swift recovery and hope the doctors provide effective medication.

Programming will not be beneficial to you. It seems to be defective Chinese paddle shifters.

Insufficient information on your issue prevents anybody from assisting you.

I can get one for a Gen1 facelift.

Is there a method to verify whether the source of this consistent noise, occurring at warm idling and reaching up to 1200rpm, is really an exhaust manifold leak?

Thank you for providing an explanation on the differentiation of matter. I eliminated the possibility of a rod bearing issue due to the fact that the banging sound was only present on one side (bank 1). I used a stethoscope, placing its tip on various sections of the engine such as the valve cover, exterior sides of the head, front chain cover, and all accessible components, including the exhaust manifold. When I placed the stethoscope on the exhaust manifold, I heard a very distinct and harsh banging sound that resembled metal hitting metal. I believed that this was the closest location to the piston wrist pin. I would appreciate your opinion on this matter.

I lack any prior experience or knowledge about exhaust leaks and their occurrence. This noise does not improve or decrease in volume as the engine becomes warmer. The issue was first seen just after driving, while the vehicle was parked and idling. However, it consistently occurred during warm-up following a cold start, as well as at every subsequent start.

The previous owner did not use it much and would only start it sometimes, allowing it to idle for about 15 minutes at a time. I inspected the valve cover and saw that it seemed to be in a pristine condition. Removing carbon deposits from the top of pistons may result in leakage onto the rings, leading to their sticking. Despite my efforts to clean them using oil additives, the issue persisted. No signs of cylinder wall scoring were seen during poroscope examination. The car does not have any diagnostic trouble codes.

Unexpectedly, the automobile was little used when it occurred. The condition first deteriorated somewhat, then stabilized at the same level, with intermittent periods of disappearance lasting a few minutes. The source is originating from bank 1 mid/from. I heard it before at bank 2. There have been reports of individuals driving with this banging sound for a distance of up to 70,000 miles. Personally, I am unable to just disregard it.

Greetings, everybody. I have been encountering a noise issue in my M272 3.5 engine with 106,000 miles (which has an updated balancing shaft, so that can be ruled out as the cause). The noise resembles a dual knocking sound emanating from a heated engine, which is seldom heard during a cold start. The engine first operates at idle speed and gradually increases to 2000rpm. It is uncertain if this increase in loudness is accompanied by the disappearance or overshadowing of other sounds produced by the engine. The engine operates optimally, particularly after a thorough cleaning of the intake manifold and the removal of carbon deposits from the combustion chambers using a piston soak suction method, together with manual rotation using the hand and starting motor. The Pistons were seeing a significant accumulation of carbon deposits. Subsequently, I proceeded to cleanse the crankcase many times using new oil and liquid Moly engine flush. Then, I repeated the process with fresh oil and ATF in the crankcase. I am now using the 5W40 X-Cess motor oil and GAT nano ceramic in my automobile. Thus far, I have covered a distance of around 300 miles after using Octan booster and Royal Purple full fuel system cleanse. Although I have conducted extensive research, I have discovered that many individuals have reported encountering a pounding noise. However, there is currently no definitive cure or diagnostic that specifically addresses this problem. My main concern is if this issue will escalate into a more significant problem or whether it will remain as it is and the engine will continue to function properly. I am embarking on a lengthy journey spanning 1000 miles and I am contemplating whether or not to go with it. If I do decide to go, I would appreciate any suggestions you may have about preparations prior to doing this trip. Thank you for your exceptional patience in reading up to this point 🙏

You have the option to deactivate or significantly minimize the presence of them. I believe that removing the secondary catalytic converters will not cause any discomfort. However, it is important to note that these converters primarily serve as high flow catalysts, which may potentially help in reducing odors.

Indeed, turbocharged automobiles do not provide the same pleasing sound as naturally aspirated or supercharged engines. The wife's GTS with Soul performance emits a melodious sound that is reminiscent of music, and it is powered by a naturally aspirated 6-cylinder engine. However, the explosive and aggressive pops and burbles produced by the M8, especially when equipped with a high-quality sound system, convey a strong desire for conflict.
