Sound like dual mass flywheel

I wonder if anyone can advise.
l have E46 330d saloon sport on 80k miles I get an annoying rattle/shudder when I start car and also when I turn off engine.
I had dual mass flywheel clutch etc replaced which was definitely the correct thing to do as they were almost knackered,
but I still have same problem but not as aggressive/bad.

I want to sell above in near future as I don’t use it enough and want problem resolved before I put it on market 

cheers in advance

    Hi John

    Welcome to the Forum

    Who changed the DMF and Clutch and did they change the throw out bearing ??

    If your foot is on the clutch does it make a difference?

    Have all the heat shields been checked for tightness ?

    my mate (very exp)changed the dual mass fly wheel clutch and release bearing .

    I haven’t checked heat shields but will tonight.

    Just tried start and switching off with clutch it’s just the same as without.

    when i switch off the car actually feel like it rocks from side to side just once

    OK normally any issues with clutch release bearing DMF etc will change with pressing the clutch
