I just got my old 318is back from my brother after 4 years. It was crashed (not by me) and never fixed. I have to replace the front fender, hood, lower valence, is lip, bumper, ect. I have a donor car for all of these parts plus ix flares that are also alpin. My problem is that the engine makes a hell of a racket now. It sounds like golf balls bouncing around under the hood. When I had it before it had a slight ticking noise that wasn't bad at all. I am prepared to buy another engine, but wanted to see if this may be something I could check and maybe fix. I can post a video if that would help, in the meantime, here is a before photo of the is and an after photo of the is with the ix.
