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 |
Thanks for your reply JLR
Did you notice the noise from inside or outside the car.
I noticed a noise like a chain but it comes and goes?
Can't believe it's at such low mileage as well as the correct service intervals.
Did you ever drive the car hard at all?
I always try the warm the car up a little before I set off especially with the winter we have had.
