The update today from the dealership is that BMW is sending a factory engineer to inspect my oil pump. They also said that there are no oil pumps in stock even in Germany and my car is going to be there a while longer.

Crazy because I just bought the car and had it shipped from Texas to CA. Drove it only one day before it went to the dealer. Don’t even know what M5 ownership is like yet but hopefully will see better days haha!

Thanks for the feedback.

Must be getting close to lemon law already...

2018 M5 here, mine does that same sound but not as loud. Seems to be louder when I start the car closer to 0 degrees but even then not as loud as that

[stowboy]

Mine is louder on cooler mornings for sure, kinda spoils the cold start roar!

Thanks for updates, hopefully get this sorted asap

[M5 F90 (2018)]

Any news on this yet?

Talked to the advisory yesterday and he told me they are now waiting on oil pump and it’s on back order for 3 weeks.

[stowboy]

Thanks for update, have they now inspected your car and diagnosed its the oil pump?

[M5 F90 (2018)]

I wonder if they are just assuming and will find it still makes the same noise after the change. Either that or there are a hell of a lot of fuel pumps that need to be changed!!

Hi
any update on this? have they replaced your oil pump yet?

mine seems to be louder now the colder weather is here..

[Chateau]

Never heard that sound once when starting my car and I’m in freezing Canada. Definitely not normal.

[Outlaw1]

Mine does this as well.

Anyone notice difference after 1200 mile oil change ? Or any change at all in US?

[M5 F90 (2018)]

Mine made and still does make this noise before and after the first oil change.

[ST3]

Still same sound here on a 2019 with 12k miles and two oil changes.

[stowboy]

Maybe djgogls can let us know once his oil pump has been replaced if it has sorted it?

[elbro]

Mine began doing this as well when it got colder, only lasts maybe 2 seconds. Interested in the outcome for OP...

[djgogls]

Sorry I haven't reported back but believe it or now just picked up my M5 back from the shop on Friday ( December 6)

They swapped out the oil pump and it fixed the issue.

The car was at the shop from October 23 till December 6...

[M5 F90 (2018)]

Thanks for the update and did they say what was the issue in terms of why it was doing this or would not changing the fuel pump result in more damage to other components etc. Thats a lot of cars that need a new fuel pump!!

[stowboy]

Hi djgogls, thanks for update, good news its fixed the whine, mines also now started to do it on stop start function at junctions etc on start up and driving off..

(Hi M5 F90 (2018)..i think you mean oil pump..)

[stowboy]

As an update on the noise, my M5 is at main dealer for inspection, will update outcome asap

[GaGolfer]

Mine has never made this noise (thankfully!).

Down here in the sunny south (Atlanta).

[Rickolas88_8]

interesting as mines doing the same, it's been getting worse.

[JK-M5]

ah yes the ticking noise another floor with the new M5 had mine in to the stealers for 6 weeks trying to find that issue, still sounds the same until it warms up slightly then it goes away, i have heard that whine before on initial start up, just never put it down to the Oil pump.

Might enquire about this

[KennyM340ISouthFLA.]
