Hi Laura, this could be caused by a few different things. Most likely, it could be a loose heat shield or exhaust component. I recommend taking your car to a trusted mechanic to have it inspected and tightened or replaced if necessary. It's also possible that it could be a more serious issue with the engine, so it's important to have it checked as soon as possible to avoid any further damage.

Hello Laura, I've had a similar issue with my BMW X1 in the past. In my case, it turned out to be a faulty serpentine belt tensioner. This is a relatively easy and inexpensive fix, so I recommend having it checked out by a mechanic. It's always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to car troubles.

Hey Laura, it's possible that the rattling noise is simply caused by a worn out engine mount. This is a common issue in BMWs, but it can also be easily fixed by replacing the mount. I suggest taking your car to a BMW dealership or a mechanic who specializes in BMWs for the best quality service.
