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.

Drove the car hard a lot as it was a company car, it was evident from inside the car. |
I totally understand and if I had it as a company car i would also...... all the time.
Even From cold starts to not waiting for a few minutes when switching off.
As it's my own I've really looked after it. Ie from cold starts and switching off and in terms of just generally flooring..... so I'll be gutted if it's the timing chain. Might as well have driven it hard.
The shame in the matter is this used to be true of the Ferraris 348 of the time, owners were scared to drive them hard incase the engine 'popped' ......... on a modern day Ferrari you can drive it out the showroom straight to the track.
On a modern day mass produced German saloon I'm surprised you have to be gentle with it...
Thanks for your reply jlr
How's the rekindled spirits with your 5 going?
