Things I have already checked or changed
-DISA
-Idler Pulley
-tentioner pulley
-Water pump
-thermostat
-radiator flush but not the engine block flush
- changed the oil
- belts and pulley all are good
- fan clutch seems to check out fine
- I have heard it could be vanos seals but that is a different rattle from what I can hear.
- doesn't knock with acceleration so don't think it is the rod knock
Please help this probably will only be able to be answered by a BMW enthusiast because I have asked numerous people and they can not figure it out and I have changed alot of things and they made no difference.
Please help
Thank you
Brandon
