Me and my dad changed the timing chain on a 2004 318ci and off idle its starts to rattle again. Any idea on what this could be?
Many thanks

Hi what was the reason for changing the chain would be unusual for the chain to give trouble

Stretched chains are one of the many problems the N42 and N46 has.
