2015 X1 s20i startup sound

Greetings all!

I’m completely new to the BMW world, my wife and I just moved accross the country and left our 10+ year old daily drivers (neither european) behind. We grabbed a 2015 X1 s20i with 30k on it to fill the gap. It was CPO and we got the maint. package with it.

On startup, the engine has a ticking noise and in general is a lot louder than I expect from a little i4…I know it’s hard to hear in the video, but can anyone tell me if this sounds normal to them?



thanks!

Sounds normal to me. I had the same reaction the day after I bought my x1 28i

Yeah, mine sounds almost more like a truck, sometimes. A small truck. ;-) I took mine straight to an independent mechanic that specialized in Euro cars to get it checked out. Seemed fine to him. *shrug*

That would be the sound of a HPDI fuel system.
