My e30 is completely stock. No aftermarket performance upgrades whatsoever. There's just one thing I can't understand. While it sits at idle it sounds like it's cammed... Can someone please tell me what's the matter?? Thanks

What do you mean? Is it the sound of the noisy tappets or noisy injectors?

I'm not sure on how to explain it. It just sounds like it has a cam in it while sitting at idle. Is there a way to post videos on here??

It has got a camshaft in it, with twelve cams.
