MPE Exhaust rattle on cold start
Hi all
Taking the M2 to the dealers today, they want to keep it for 2 days as they don't know how to fix the rattle. Courtesy car is there new M3 comp.

Had the same issue with mine. The dealer sent videos to BMW and they said it was "normal." They kept it for a day and were able to do something to "quiet" it down a little bit, but it still rattles. I've just learned to live with it.

Open the valve with the door open. It was the only time I ever heard it.

My MPE only rattled on start up if the valve was open. I got in the habit of turning on the car in comfort mode and closed valve, leaving the neighborhood then opening everything up.

Between the 3000 rpm drone, cold start rattle and the red button in the trunk (for the europeans), I'm amazed people are still buying it. So many better options out there for similar money. |

I have the LCI US version MPE and it doesn’t rattle. Something I have noticed during cold starts is sometimes the whole rear end feels like it’s shimmying for a couple of seconds.

I need the factory warranty, Also I have to hear it in person if the drone is really horrible. Fellow member mentioned you can code it out? I have to meet up with someone with a m2 here in NJ to hear it for myself before i make the decision.

Basically, the exhaust rubs against a bracket located about in the center of the car. The clamp tends to come loose as well. After a few visits to the dealer, I had my performance shop just weld it. Done! Last edited by M2joey; 04-05-2018 at 07:11 AM.. |

Only lasts about 8 seconds in cold temps..... does the same thing on M3/M4's and is very dependent on what the temperature is. Cold start = a little rattle. Does not bother me.
