Is this noise normal?

rmassena · 12-30-2022, 11:26 AM

Everything is going great with my 2019 540i xDrive M Sport, but just wanted to check out a sound that’s coming from the left side of the engine. You can hear it pretty good in the video. Is this normal/something I should be worried about or have checked?

Thanks!

I don't have a 540, but maybe posting mileage will help someone compare to their 540...apples to apples.

It’s at about 55k miles.

That is the very typical sound of a high pressure, direct injection fuel system. Nothing to worry about here.
