you won't get shot indy. some zoners have Fords or Toyotas as runarounds!
very difficult to diagnose without actually hearing it in person, but my E36 iS had a noise at around 2k, but it was more of a rattle and turned out to be just the exhaust heat shields, with the usual corrosion/wear around the fixing screws.
it's always worth getting a free check from Kwik-Fit. just don a blonde wig, stick your chest out and grizzle: "i think there's something wrong with my exhaust". she'll be up on the ramps in no time! :wink:
