I am still getting a rattle from the front of my 323i only at 1500rpm. I have checked and eliminated all of the following: alternator, power steering pump, water pump, fan assembly, air con pump, all belts. I cannot think what else it could be. Every thing runs great except for the rattle. Any ideas?
