Hi Guys,

Think I might have the dreaded N52 Tappet rattle syndrome on my 2010, 6K miles 23is.

Car is fine when started from cold & runs fine whilst driven normally, but if i come home & park up for a few hours & then go back to the car, on start up I definitely have tappet rattle from cylinder head area which eventually goes away after maybe a minute or two.

Does this sound like the ongoing issue with the N52 tappets ?.

I understand that this was supposed to have been designed out after approx 2008-2009 ?

Looks like a dealer visit coming up for me :(

Will keep you posted on dealer feedback

I get this noise in mine:

but definitely not coming from the engine bay area.
