slight vibration / rattle just after pull off

[pugs]

Hi Im currently about to purchase a 3.0 2003 Z4 but on test drive I noticed this noise and I know its really going to annoy me if not fixed!
It occurs after pulling off and it is very brief. Have stipulated that it must be found and fixed if I was to purchase it, but wondered if anyone had any ideas to aid in finding out what and where it is?

why would you bother even buying a car that you are not happy with?! get one that doesn't need fixing

I had this issue. In my case the noise was only for the first minute, or half a mile.

I had had some clutch work done and the garage had not re-secured the exhaust system properly at the end of the job. It was a just a bit loose in some sort of bracket/mounting, so after warmingup the metal expanded and the rattle stopped. Over time it worked more loose and generally got worse so had to take back to the garage for them to sort it.

So if it's the same issue, take care that the the car is properly cold if they say they have fixed it and demonstrate it to you next time.
