Hello Jenna, it's not uncommon for BMW engines to develop a rattling noise over time. This could be due to a worn timing chain, faulty oil pump, or loose engine mounts. I would recommend taking your car to a certified BMW mechanic for a diagnostic test to determine the exact cause. Depending on the issue, it may be a simple fix or require a more extensive repair. As always, make sure to keep up with regular maintenance to prevent any potential engine issues in the future.

Hi Jenna, I've experienced the same issue with my BMW X6 before. In my case, it turned out to be a loose belt tensioner. I would advise checking your car's belt tension and replacing it if necessary. It's a relatively simple and inexpensive fix that can make a huge difference in silencing that rattling noise. If that doesn't solve the problem, it's best to have a professional take a look.
