I got rattle also, Mine is constant and I think it's something to do with the exhaust, like a hanger.

ya, its probly your exhuast.

try taking your foot and pushing on your exhaust tip kinda hard, if it moves and rattles then theres your problem.

its a little rubber hanger, probably just worn out. its not a big deal, not hurting anything.


if you want it fixed, just buy a new rubber hanger from bavauto, shouldn't be more than like 10$, and it'll be stuff so no more rattleing of your exhaust back and forth. :)
