On re-reading this, I don't think I clarified - my 116d too has the sound, it's approaching it's first service now (18k miles thus far). Thing is, I can't remember if it's always been like this - it's difficult to quantify. My partner has a similar mileage 2011 mini countryman D with the 1600cc version of the N47 engine and that also sounds chainy.

I'm just going to say to them "it sounds a bit scratchy" and see what they say - making sure they write my concerns down on the jobcard so if it does go bang I can claim "I told them so"

Funny how even though the Germans invented them, the best diesel engines seem to originate from France...
