2009 X5 35d Problems

[TetherEd]

Hi Everyone,

Thought I would see if anyone else had / is having these issues with their 35d. I have around 800 miles on my car and it has developed this excessive rattling sound when accelerating from a stop starting at about 1300 RPM through to around 1700 RPM. It is significantly noticeable when you have the windows or sunroof open. It sounds like a bad ping. The interesting thing is that it does not happen when you try and run the car up in neutral, the engine sound is completely smooth.

Today I had the check engine light come on, go out after a couple of start cycles, and then come back on later. I am going to call the dealer and schedule an appointment tomorrow.

If anyone has had similar issues, please let me know.

Thanks!

Ed
