Hi,
It is my first post on here, so I am sorry if something is wrong.
I have bought an E36 328i convertible about a year ago (and from now on I think BMW is the best) and have been doing DIY servicing on it where possible. However, it has now developed a strange tapping noise. Still drives fine, but I am just worried that it could be something that will deteriorate or that it is not good for the car. What is causing the noise? Is it going to get worse? Can I do anything to get rid of it? Any answers or advice is welcome.


The car has about 158K miles, but I have changed the oil+filter, new spark plugs, new air filter, and had the thermostat, water pump and radiator done by a garage. It is duel fuel (LPG) however the LPG has never functioned 100% as it switches back to petrol on occasions (need to sort it out).

Here is the video (not the best quality, but hard to capture the noise on camera):

Thanks in advance.
