A few days ago I noticed an odd sound coming from my car. It only seems to happen when it's cold, but it doesn't sound like the "cold death rattle" to me. I know my video is lame, but if you listen closely, you'll hear an odd vibration sound coming in and out. It does seem to go away once warmed up and does happen every time it's cold. Thoughts?

It's kind of hard to hear but could be hydraulic lifters. When it's cold it takes a while for them to work at max capacity.
Haha.....not really. The latest turn of events and attitudes is amazing to me. Kittens and rainbows....I don't think so.
It's inevitable that Panda will be moving out of MINI and follow the rest of the bears. Thou a BRZ is a nice way to go. I'm just sayin...
Does it only happen when it is cold outside or when the engine is cold? Not that knowing that info will really mean anything to me, but may help others identify potential causes. Might want to give Best a call to see if they have time to look at it. It's not like he said friends don't let friends drive MINIs! He just beat Dave.O to the punchline of the longest running joke on M/A. You need to take your tinfoil hat off, not every comment is a conspiracy to bring down MoM. now back to pandas puking up rainbows after eating kittens....
I'm pretty sure there isn't a single comment made to bring down MoM. It is a joke, yes some of us have gotten different cars, we will still show up to breakfasts and drives, get over it...
I think calling John Best is a good idea. They are very good with MINI's & BMW's. I give them 2 opposable thumbs up.
