Last time I brought the car in, for an unrelated issue, they asked if I wanted to get the car for the weekend and then bring it back on Monday morning. I did, the X1 they gave me as a loaner didn't really impress me much and I didn't fancy my car sitting on their lot over the weekend. |

Hi ! Just created my account to post here
m240i ordered end of march, delivered 10 days ago, and I've had that exact same noise since day 1, and although I've read a ton of topics about exhausts rattles and abnormal noises, yours is the first that actually match mine. I intended to unplug the flap in opened position regardless, so I tried that, but the noise is still present. It actually sounds like it's coming from the other pipe (right one). When it does it, maintaining the pipe (ie. pressing with my foot on it) makes it stops so I would guess vibrations play some part in it. Same behavious as yours, it is very noticeable with windows opened when accelerating. So, I'm very interested to see how things develop on your end , and in any case thanks a lot for the video ! For myself, I've informed the dealer 1 day after delivery and told him I'm letting a few days pass for things to settle and if the noise is still present I will want it taken care of. |

Yeah... it's completely abnormal. I believe they need to replace the rear section of the exhaust as the other member here pointed out. I don't really care since I'm giving this back after lease-end but it's kind of weird they keep using this valve if they've had issues for almost 10 years. |

The fact that they need to cut the exhaust pipe to fix the valve flap rattle seems just wrong. I guess BMW thought this valve flap will never be an issue. lol |

So apparently it was the exhaust flap that needed to be replaced.
He told me he was able to replace it. I guess he didn't need to cut off the exhaust to reach it?? It will be ready by end of day. In true dealership fashion, he tried to tell me that my front right wheel is terribly bent and needs to be replaced for $560 plus alignment for $190. Also, I got a no options 320i xDrive. What a piece of shit. |
