I IanA Member Dec 28, 2009 #1 Hi Ive just noticed that when my 30i is warming up from cold I can hear a bit of what sounds like a tappet rattle. Anyone else heard this?

I IanA Member Dec 28, 2009 #3 Many thanks for that, true enough once the engine warms its is very quiet. Just thought it unusual on a brand new engine with only 2K miles after a careful breakin period of 1500 miles.

I IanA Member Dec 29, 2009 #5 Thanks, the tappet noise disappears when the engine has warmed up and the car is just brilliant.
