I think most of these cars are problem free. Ours is almost 1.5 years old, has 23K km, and no issues so far. There is a bit of surface rust under the front seats, but it doesn't bother me.

Could this be the effect when water gets into the tailpipe e.g. washing car, rain and general spray turbulance in the rear when driving on wet roads?

I know that after I wash my car with hose pipe, water inevitably gets in the tail pipes and when the car is started I assume this water is forced out with all the soot deposits...

Just a thought for you guys with the problem?

Hi,

I have the same issues. BMW UK and dealership refuse to acknowledge the problem and are fobbing me off.

Anyone get a solution to this?

Has anyone actually got to the 100% of this problem and solved it.

Im tempted to start a thread specifically for this to get an overall view of who is affected, compile responses and send to BMW so they actually acknowledge/admit the problem and do something about it instead of suggestiing its a characteristic.

Just to summarise for all those who misunderstand the issue

1 - Its not the initial start up rattle we are talking about that lasts a few seconds
2 - It is the rattle/clatter clearly heard between roughly 1200 and 1700 rpm, under load, probably more evident on hill starts or pulling away from junctions
3 - Happens in most gears
4 - Is not the golf tee mod as this appears to be linked to 114i, 116i and 118i N13 engines so not related to back boxes of twin pipes

Any help, knowledge etc on this much appreciated
