    Can anyone help identify what this noise is? It has happened twice in the last 7 days immediately after a cold start below freezing temperatures. It goes away after 20-30 seconds. My apologies for the camera orientation.

    Rare BMW M found on the street

    1 of 21 BMW M Coupe made in Phoenix Yellow. One of my top 3 favourite body styles of all time and I am a BIG fan of yellow, but not this yellow. I would want one in Dakar Yellow or any blue. I see it around on weekends, he drives it through the winter. Ugh, that parking job.
