I recently purchased a BMW M5 and I've noticed that the engine makes a rattling noise when I start it up in the morning. It goes away after a few seconds, but I'm concerned that there could be a bigger issue. Is this normal for a BMW M5 or should I be worried?
ReplyHi Samantha, it is not normal for a BMW M5 engine to make a rattling noise. This could be a sign of a worn timing chain or tensioner. I would highly recommend taking your car to a certified BMW mechanic to get it checked out.
Hey Samantha, this could also be caused by low oil levels or a faulty oil pump. If you haven't already, check your oil levels and make sure they are at the recommended level. If they are low, top it up and see if the noise goes away. If not, it's best to take it to a BMW dealership for further diagnosis.
Hi Samantha, another possibility is that there could be a loose heat shield on your exhaust causing the rattling noise. This can easily be fixed by tightening the heat shield. However, if the noise persists, it's best to have a professional take a look at it.
