I suspect that your coil issues were not completely resolved. i do not know if you have the technical ability to actually read the codes with BMW specific software, like GT1, INPA or whatnot, but those will narrow your search... I've had similar problem on 4.8is and was able to narrow it down to a coil...
Where is Ha5? are you in UK? your cluster shows miles and kilometers in speedo and miles in odo, and celcius in temperature... if we have members close to you who could let you borrow their INPA, you might be able to run live tests to see what is happening...

Thanks for your reply
HA5 is in the UK, Northwest London
The engine management light is off since the coils have been changed
If I drive the car and hold it at 4000rpm (max rpm it can goto - i did this only once or twice after the coil changes) the engine management light flashes but doesnt stay on.
Did you get the rattle on your 4.8 as well?
Any advice is much appreciated, thanks
