Same here, I'm going in friday pushing for new turbos...
I went under the car today to check it out, and the amount of wiggle in the actuator arms is horrible. It would be be ridiculous if BMW expected customers to have their cars rattle on start up and occasionally returning to idle when you spend nearly 50k on a car. |

SA called today. He told me the car is back together, and running great... however there is a small coolant leak. Will fix that on Monday. Must have pinched a seal or something.
Side note... the coating on the steering wheel is coming off on the left side. I asked them to look at that today, when he called. I looked scratched, not bubbled, but I figured since they have had my car for over a week.... it was the least they could do... we'll see. Bill

I only noticed my noise when i revved the car, or decelerated. Start the car, rev it to about 3500-4000 rpm, and let it come back down to idle. You will hear the noise when the engine is coming back to idle. Sounds like a rattle in a can.
I could not hear it while in the car with the widows up... open the door and stick you head out, or have someone rev it for you. It is very noticeable. Bill

If it were me, I would run it until it becomes an issue.

Picked up the car this morning. Sounds and runs perfect. No noises, and they replaced the steering wheel trim, no questions asked. What outstanding service and an overall great experience. I attached the invoice, to show what was replaced. Also, look at page 2, in the description at the top. States wastegate bushing wear as the issue. I hope this helps some of you, when dealing with your service departments. Bill

I think Mr.5 has video on one of his threads. Can't remember... search for it.
IIRC, his noise was more noticeable at idle than mine. Mine was most noticeable coming off of the throttle.
