Consistent fast ticking sound when locking/unlocking with keyfob
This is my '17 M2.
The car is off. Engine is off. I have been hearing a consistent fast ticking sound when locking/unlocking the doors (or trunk) with keyfob. Wondering if this is a bug? Anyone observe this issue with their M2? You can hear the steady "fast clicking sounds" from beginning to end here: https://youtu.be/gag-m5q8UUE

I did a search and this is potentially the reason:
https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1339902 Response: BMWs make these noises, some are because the fuel pump gets primed when you unlock the door, I am not sure what the noise is when it locks beyond the actual locks but my 06 330i made weird noises when I locked and unlocked the car and every BMW I have driven since I got that car 09 has done the same. I can tell you its normal and nothing to worry about. Response: Agree with others. BMWs have a lot of tech in them. Merely press the door lock unlock button and it starts a system of clicks and whirs and pumps going. I'm pretty sure at least one of them is a priming pump or lift pump for the fuel system.

Yup engine off. I dont know why it did that but dealership told me they replaced vanos motor and no more clicking after that. So it looks like you are set to what you believe in. I was just sharing my experience.
edit: so just heard the video you uploaded. that was not the same clicking i had. Mine was high pitch and really fast. As far as the noise you have, I've owned 3 BMWs and never heard of anything like that. |

No, but it is the same exact clicking. It happens when I grab the handle and open the door. It happens whether the door has been locked or unlocked. Next time it happens, I guess I'll record it. I was going to use your video at the next dealer visit.

Based on what you just described, it behaves the same as mine. I will certainly keep you posted after talking to the BMW tech next Tuesday.

I had the same issue. It was a bad solenoid they replaced under warranty. I believe BMW has a PUMA for it. Original link here

BMW San Diego is completely useless. They return the car and told me the issue is not reproduced. I got home and just a moment ago, I just reproduce the same ticking sound without trying. I will try another dealership.

Although I am closer to BMW SD, I actually go to BMW El Cajon. Service is really bad at BMW SD, I avoid them if possible. Maybe try El Cajon, that's where I got mine fixed. Mine was easily reproducible though. |

Of course, the ticking didn't happen while there and I got the "no codes" response. The final straw was that my tailight was failing and letting in moisture. They would not cover it under warranty, but did offer to cover labor...yay. I said nope and took the car back. |

I think the cause is the valvetronic motor and possibly the eccentric shaft:
https://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1389358 I would show the dealership the video you took and try to get those parts replaced. |

Here is a clip of the sound my car makes. It usually only occurs when I unlock the car after it has been sitting for 48+ hours without being driven. Will be showing this video to my dealer and seeing what if anything can be done about it.

Update:
Showed my dealer the video of the clicking noise on my phone. They took the car but couldn't replicate it. Happily though, instead of brushing me off they asked for a copy of the video and diligently forward it to BMW. Was told that they would be replacing the eccentric shaft servo motor but I will have to wait till I pick up the car to share the part numbers of what was and what wasn't replaced. And then of course I'll have to wait and see if it worked or not, lol. |
