Okay so this might a daft question, but everyone here is so helpful ;)

My recently acquired E32 sounds great. However when I opened the hood, I hear a rapid ticking/clicking noise at idle, on pulling on the accelator lever (??) the heavenly sound of the engine drowns out the ticking/clicking. But it is noticeable at idle.

What could this be?

Thanks,

Hanif


Timing or your fuel is not high octane enough
