BMW 1 Series Rattling noise when coldstart. Please help

Hi everyone,

I am very new here and this is my first thread, everyone here seems to be very knowledgeable so I am hoping someone can help me please.

I purchased a car a month ago, right after buying it noticed that there is a rattling noise coming from the front of the car, went to the dealership and they have advised me that it is normal but it seems so odd that I spent a lot of money on a almost new car and it rattles.

I was wondering if someone has the same issue or can help me with some more information.

Here are a few videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aDHk-6Ym40 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aDHk-6Ym40

Thank you

Mine rattles like crazy on cold start, and then the flywheel rattles like crazy when warmed up, but I have the N55.

These are BMWs, not Corollas.

I know it's crazy, I have a f20 2014 plate and only with 24k miles, I would never expect that after spending that amount of money it would be expected for the car to rattle

Well, if you care that much you should have wondered beforehand (either on the Internet or listening to those cars of the kind).

The cold engine sound not too "pretty" is a very common concern, absolutely normal for the N13 engine, discussed too many times everywhere around and beyond. Here you are, in particular: http://f20.1addicts.com/forums/showt...5#post17280535 . Notice even an explanation there if you need it: http://f20.1addicts.com/forums/showt...3#post17455593 (DomMuc knows! ).

Of course that does not mean any bad noise is normal. For example:

I never listen to mine. I trust it and just drive it.
