very faint rattle from bottom middle(ish) of car?
Hi all,
I just purchased a pre owned 2014 M235i with 51K KMs on it. Car is amazing and I love it, but I have noticed when driving between walls in alleys or in a garage, I can hear a faint rattle when i lightly touch the throttle (1000-2000RPM). It almost sounds like something is lose underneath, it sounds like its coming from the center exhaust area but I am not sure. It isn't apparent at idle really, only under light throttle. It isn't super loud but enough to bother me. I can't really hear it unless the windows are rolled down and i am between two walls. Any idea what it could be? |

It sounds like your exhaust might be the issue. You might need a Fixing Bowl. This part is next to your exhaust flap valve.

Not exactly sure, sorry I needed to reply to one post before I can post a new thread. Goodluck! Did you purchase the BMW maintenance program by chance?
