def not.
sounds harmless though. get underneath And track it down. It sounds like it's a metal on metal but barely.. possibly the heat shielding bent and just a corner is touching the muffler cans.. i can 99.9999% say thats a very minor thing |

Appreciate the reply. Ive had it back to BMW, where they replaced the rear silencer, as we both thought, it was the exhaust valve vibrating, but, it is exactly the same, in fact, i would say slightly worse. I have been under the car again myself, to check out, just as you have stated, that there are no heat shields touching or vibrating anywhere, and there is clear air around the exhaust system. I can grab hold of the tips, and rag them in all directions, and the exhaust does not touch anything. It sounds, and feels like it is something inside the silencer, but i cant believe that two rear silencers would exhibit this same problem. Its booked back into BMW again, in 2 weeks, but thought i would ask here first.

But yes, little stones/gravel can get flicked up by the sticky MPS4S and get between the exhaust pipe and black outer shroud. Keep us updated! |

I'd jack up the car and get under it to check again, the exhaust is probably in contact with some heat shield or something.. also, while you're down there, check that the hangers are okay and intact
or maybe the tip is loose? it could be the cause for the rattling too, but I'm just shooting in the dark here |

A bit of an update. After fitting a new rear silencer, swapping around exhaust valve actuators, replacing actuator springs, and starting cases, and speaking to BMW themselves, the noise persists. Its been in twice now, and its still in the garage. They have confirmed, that it is the exhaust flaps/actuators that is the route of the problem, but do not appear to be able to remedy it. Some sort of final test is being performed tomorrow at BMWs request.

The irony of the overlap in perspectives from BMW. On my side, it has been with the dealer for two days, and only today did BMW relay a statement.
Namely, 'it's a known problem[...]'however, no specific solution is available at present;[...]'replacement parts will not be supplied for the time being'. Most intriguing, and truly saddening to hear about your developments. Simon, could you perhaps PM me please, so that we can exchange contact details; as I feel it's overdue that this is escalated. Would equally warmly encourage fellow owners to speak up in case they have also noted this issue please. |

Yes, only really does it when the valves are shut. Been confirmed it is the valves rattling, which i already knew, just took a while to convince BMW. They have fitted a new rear silencer, with new valves etc, and it still persists. Dealership has been great, but BMW themselves have now said, its normal with the sports exhaust, and have tried to fob me off, err, i dont think so !!. The car is back at the dealership in around 10 days, to see if they can fix it with some "engineering". If they then cant fix it, my Mr Nice guy attitude, will change. I could fix it myself with an aftermarket rear silencer, but would like BMW to sort, after all, what is a very expensive car. We shall see.

It's a manufacturer defect, and falls under their craftsmanship warranty. Fight it until they either do something, or request a buyback for a problematic car. |

Yes, this is my 3rd F90 M5, and i have been around 100s more too. Guess im just unlucky with this one. Will not be getting fobbed off by BMW either, and again i stress, that my dealer has been great thus far, although, im a little surprised, that they have let BMW push us around with this. Im sure i will get it resolved .

Mine has a rattle/noise in the the left side exhaust. It makes the noise when running and when not running if you tap the left rear pipes. The dealer thinks the baffle broke so they ordered a new Muffler from Germany. Supposed to arrive Monday.
