I have a 2003 BMW 325xi with 37k miles on it (yes, I drive quite a bit I know). All regular maintainance has being performed on the car including Inspection 1 at 30k miles.
Last night, I stopped somewhere to eat and shortly after I left, the "Service Engine Soon" light came on. Also, my car was shaking a little. I attempted to stop and start the engine several times to see if the problem persists and it did. Since I was running low on fuel, I stopped and got gas and the problem still persisted.
Being a Saturday night with no one to help fix it until Monday, I decided to try to diagnose the problem. I came up the following. There is a clicking noise underneath the tailpipe. In addition, the right tail pipe appears to be clogged and water is coming out of the left one.
The temperature outside had been in the single digits all day. Could something have frozen inside the tailpipes by any chance? Anything else that would cause the clicking? It appears that the car shakes a little because the exhaust can't come out the right tailpipe.
Thanks for any advice.
