valve train noise on ignition on / off
Ok just got wifes new to us 2012 R57 S home. And almost every time when you put key in and push button there is a pretty loud noise coming from valve train area and it does it again when you turn it off.
My 2013 never makes this noise, is there a different valve train in 2012 vs 2013 or is the vanos going ? Car is under warranty so no biggie but it sounds like something moving the valve train . Nothing heard when running, no codes etc.

Service dept, we leave for vacation tomorrow so it's just gonna sit till Monday as it goes in for a new window anyways . We just bought the car and never heard that on test drive. Just hoping I could guide the dealer as I can't be the first to have had this problem. If I was starting car I'd say starter but this happens when you press button to turn on ign and when off. Other thought is HPFP ?

Yes I know warranty time. Just not too much faith in my dealer

I had this same issue, soundwise, with my old Gen1 Miata and it was the starter solenoid that was at fault. Thought at first it was the battery being loose and not providing enough juice to crank Cheap fix.
Sorry, I know it's apples and oranges but I hope it helps. Cars too new for the starter (and solenoid) to fail IMO.

Going to say HPFP also or just a bad coil.

Been told by a MINI tech I trust that HPFP is motor driven and only works when car is running , not with IGN on only. I think it is vanos and it got quiet from A use B new oil C it will fail in the future . It's a CPO so I won't worry about it for a while.
WIFE just loves the convertible in the mean time.
