So I took the car in since the service light came on so I could have my fluids and such topped off. I typically do this stuff myself but since the car is under warranty and BMW gets alerted when the light comes on, I figured it'd be best just to let them take care of it. How bad can it be, right? They give me a loaner for the day and send me on my way.
Fast forward to later that day where I'm told that the tech hears the rattle that I described in this thread. Fast forward to today where they tell me that they are letting an engine specialist look at the car with his "advanced tools" so that he can determine the issue. While I knew there was a rattle and it needed to be addressed, even though most people have said it is normal (doesn't sound normal), I wasn't really prepared for BMW to address the issue just yet. As a result I took the car in with a ER Charge pipe on and a JB4....for normal fluid top-offs and such this wouldn't be a problem, but now I'm worried.
I guess I'll wait to hear back from BMW on Friday to see what they come up with. Hoping that they either don't see the JB4 or they choose to ignore it. In a perfect world they'd over look the JB4, figure out the rattle, and repair it. :-/ Here's to hoping that the dealership here in the D/FW area is as mod-friendly as some people have mentioned in the forums that they can be.
Just my luck
