This 5-series..........did you make a mental note of which engine was powering it? Could've been the 4-cyl, 2.0 diesel...
Yep - could well have been a 520d (although the 6 cylinders are just as rattly !) .... although whichever engine, you do get used to the change of noise - has taken me about a year though ... only ever notice it now straight after driving something with an antiquated petrol engine
