Thumping---URGENT
« on: December 19, 2007, 02:08:51 AM »
So my car is running funny.  I have unknown mileage on my 91' 318is.  The motor is making  a thumping that I can feel in the steering wheel, pedals, and kind of my seat.  It is rpm dependent and only makes the noise when the car has warmed up.  I know that it is not a rod bearing, so what do you guys think it is?  I really need to get this fixed asap.  And please give a why or what it would take/how to fix it.  Thanks a lot.
