Hi All
Thought it would be good to put together a thread with all the post delivery issues/niggles you may have noticed, not straight away but a few weeks/months after you have driven your new baby for a while.
My first issue is :-
1. I was idling the car and I noticed at the rear of the car , underneath where the exhaust is in the centre , there was like a water running sound, this was first thing in the morning when I started the car.
I left it for a few minutes but it did not go away.
It sounded like it came from inside the box where both exhausts join.
Is this normal and has anybody noticed this ?
Aaargh I forgot to mention besides the water sound there is a bit of a rattle , I found this thread/post when I was looking

Hey guys,
There's a loud high-pitched vibration noise I'm hearing from the ?exhaust on cold starts. I've had my car for 2 months and it's done over 3,500km (bought as demo).
I took it to the dealer this week. The service advisor was quite shocked and had never heard it before. It picked it up yesterday with no noise, but it has returned this morning.
This is the job description record: "Carry out start up of the vehicle. No noise present at time of testing. The vehicle had been driven and was warm. Need to perform cold start. Carry out cold start and confirmed noise was coming from the vehicle. Lift vehicle up on the hoist and found the exhaust heat shields loose knocking on exhaust. Carry out refitment of the exhaust shields. Test multiple times all okay."
I've found very few comments on Bimmerpost regarding the same issue, but the thread was more about squeaking noises from the trunk seals.
Anyone else experiencing this? Appreciate your help.
Back to the dealership I go...
First time I have heard it.
Thanks
