Car is making some kind of weird rattle...I've isolated it to be something not associated with suspension or drivetrain. Revving while stationary I can replicate the noise. I'm hoping it's not clutch/flywheel related. Wery well could be exhaust, which has been showing sides of gasket replacement for a while now.
But the sound is definitely metal on metal and very annoying on partial throttle.
That sounds oddly like my rattle. It doesn't rattle at first when u start the car, but u give it a little gas and let off and the rattle is there. It goes away when u rev up the rpms.
Also, I just checked my check engine code and it is P0161.

On my way to drop my car off at the stealer ship :/ the noise is really bad and it needs to get checked out ASAP. Dealership is my only option right now. And the service department closed at 5 :/
But....perks of having friend that works at the dealership...he called the president of the company that owns the dealership and got me a loaner BMW and they are checking my car in after five :)

Well as I was finishing up washing the car a huge T-storm rolled in w/ torrential rain and even small hail. I saw it coming and put the car in the garage to dry her off, so no damage. But I did get kinda stuck in the garage, as I didn't want to make my way through the storm to the house, so I tried out the M105 and M205 I ordered a few weeks ago. I taped off the trunk lid (it's my least favorite part of the whole car, if/when you see it in person you'll understand) and went to work. I had a few deep scratches that came right out with 3 "sessions" of the M105 on a medium-heavy (orange) cutting pad, then followed by 2 "sessions" w/ the M205 and finishing pad (black). Wow, does it look good! And the polishes were so easy to use, I couldn't believe it! They didn't sling all over the place, it was easy to tell when I had worked the product enough, and the results were amazing. I spent less than 30 mins total too. I can't say enough about how awesome M105 and M205 are, everyone was right!
Lol, isn't it easy though? I didn't know how bad my swirls were before I used it.

Think I found the culprit.
There is a heat shielding on the passenger side engine mount, right? If so, then my worn-as-all-get-out mounts are shot and engine movement is contacting the heat shield. So I guess I need to order my suspension bushings and engine/transmission mounts from AKG by summers end :(
