Soldato
Right, this is driving me slowly mad. I'm posting here as enough of us here have had an M54BXX-powered BMW that someone might have experienced the same.
My car has a rattle between 1-2k RPM when the engine is cold, only on rising revs. I can't work it out.
I don't think it is terminal, as I've found 2 videos so far, one of which stated the car went on for a further 50k km (and no mention of the rattle being the reason that the car stopped going on, so I assume it was sold on or died of unrelated problems).
My car sounds exactly like the below when cold, in the same rev range. VANOS seals were done less than a year ago, and it's defo not the DISA flap rattling. Oil level makes no difference.
Anyone any idea what on earth this is? One of the posters of the above suspected oil pump, but didn't follow up.
