Noise when engine was cold

Hi all senior. Im facing a problem.
When I Start my engine(while it's cold in the morning or few hours later my last engine off)
There's a sound from engine bay, very noisy sound, the noise will be louder when I making a turn (even turning steering without moving). But after few minutes of driving the sound disappear (or maybe not so loud cause still can heard it sometime )( even warm up engine for 15minutes).
Anybody know what's wrong with it???
Was an E90 preFL 320i

Thanks first ~

Re: Noise when engine was cold

Clunking noise? Get your bushings and shock mounts checked / replaced and greased.

Shock mount? Is a wear at tear parts or other reason that spoilt it? Is it common on e90?
Thanks

Wear and tear item. Not sure on normal change interval for an e90.

1week ago, I have this irregular tick tick tick sound coming from under the bonnet when I start up the engine. After 10 mins drive, the sound starts to disappear. It Presume it only happens when the engine is cold. Not sure what causes it. Anyone can help?

Re: Noise when engine was cold

Unsure is just realise that the sound occur even drive for a while or it's getting louder. Now even driven from bedok to yishun, on the way and reach car park can still hear the sound, in a straight road not so obvious but while turning can clearly hear it! Damn.. Anyone help? Need advise on workshop that can done fast and well cos need car for daily use..

We r using electronic power steering thus no oil involve.

Get yur CSA to check it out. Mine since day one has this sound & thot its normal.
During last warranty claim for oil leaks, highlighted to him.

During collection (4days later) was made know that steering rack cupping has been clean up n re greese up. After this soundless. Now is aircon blower low bassy sound.


Hope all goes well for u..

Cheers ~~ :)
