Hi Dave, Thanks for your advice - really was sound !! after sleeping on it and speaking to a few independent BMW dealers who have advised that this clicking from the inlet manifold / lifters is not a characteristic issue. And thus could take some time to diagnose and may not be a cheap fix. Will be walking and collecting my deposit. Gutted! Eager to replace my 1 series!! Any ideas for outlets other than autotrader for used 1 series petrol good condition low miles. Budget 8-10 k (lower end for private bargain. Higher for trade premium & warranty)

Anyone have any ideas or experiences with a rattling sound coming from a bmw 1 series 118i. Potential purchase. Car drives beautifully but has a rattling sound coming from the intake manifold area. Seen lots of threads and videos pointing towards a replacement valvelifter. Ideas on potential costs? IMG_1909_(1).MOV
