320d engine rattle

Hi

I have an \'09 E92 320d. It has recently developed a low rev rumble/rattle under load.

Most noticeable in 1st and 2nd prior to the turbo spooling when the noise suddenly stops. It doesn\'t fade out, but stops abruptly.

The noise used to only happen when engaging the clutch, but now happens when clutch engaged Also it only happens when the car is warm.

It sounds a bit like a tappety noise but I\'m unable to locate where the noise is coming from.

Any ideas what I can check or know problems with this engine? It\'s not a huge issue at the moment, just a bit annoying.

Thanks
