Hey, I'm new to the M5 board, having just bought a 2000 M5 a couple of weeks ago. It's a fantastic car, but what is that clicking noise from the engine when idling after it warms up? The noise disappears with throttle.

The BMW tech says it's normal but I wanted to get input from someone else.

Thanks for the help...
