I was listening out the other day and is a cold start a good or bad time to hear out for it.

What mileage for you on and did you do Interim oil changes?

Thanks

It happened at about 2 years and 25,000 miles

It was more evident when the car was cold, car was serviced as standard nothing extra as it was a company car.

Not sure how to describe the sound other than a rattle.

I took a BMW tech for a drive and he said straight away it was the timing chain and tensioner.

I think the issue is more with the tensioner than the chain
