Thanks alot guys, :) Research seems to indicate that waste gates have alot of play therefore rattling, could also be a sign that the turbos are on their way out. Bought a full 'Gold' warranty at the garage I got the car from with auto protect for £1000. After speaking to a few garages including halfords and 2 independent BMW ones, it seems that my warranty will only cover if parts fail not if they are faulty. Also a diagnosis fee would have to be paid by me and also a charge of £1000 per turbo for removal and refitting. I'm just thinking about letting go of the issue now until things actually fail as that is alot of money I would have spent in the last few months on the car! :(

Sorry just realised I should have introduced myself to the newbie section , anyway I can get this moved there admin, sorry once again :(

, I want to change my 225/35/19 and 255/30/19s to NON run flats

Hi guys, Just joined and am really enjoying my 335i, :D but one thing that is worrying me is that after taking the revs high, say for example to 5k and then releasing the throttle, I hear a strange metallic clashing type of noise until 3k revs. Is this a sign that my turbos maybe be starting to go wrong? Also when cold starting first thing in the morning the car gives a similar but not same metallic noise when idle. It almost sounds like the edge of a fan blade hitting something!!! :blink: I have bought a warranty but just wanted to check with the experts before going to the idiots, lol. :) Also one more thing, I want to change my 225/35/19 and 255/30/19s to run flats and am veering towards the Good year Eage F1 Asymetric 2's, are these good and should I notify my insurance as one tyre shop said that I may not be covered as the car is built for only run flats and if i change the car will behave uncontrollably , which is contrary to the info I have read on line, im so confused!?!! HELP! :wacko: Thanks in advance. :)
