Rattling coming from Waste Gate.
I have posted several threads here and bimmerfest and bimmerpost about the rattling noise coming from my BMW X5 35i. After taking my car in at leat 6 times to the dealer, they finally determined that the noise coming from my car is the Waste Gate. The rattling sound appears when you start the car and at the Under load. You can only hear it when you have the windows rolled down. If you youtube waste gate for bmw you will here it on some of the 335i.
Apparently, there are other owners that have the same issue but are not bothered ny the rattle. My resonse to that is "WTF". How does that not bother you??? My $70,000 car sounds like a Lawn Mower!!!
Now that we figured out where the noise is coming form, i'd like to ask if anyone hears this and if is bothers you? Dealership has told me taht this is normal.
