This evening I did some maintenance to my e90 330d - I changed the air filter (oh my god that was a nightmare task - a lot more complicated than I expected. Had to remove so many tricky bloody covers), and pollen filter - I'm inexperienced with car maintenance so used guides + youtube videos to guide me.
Everything seemed to reassemble okay, except when I put it in reverse or drive over a speedbump / bumpy road I get a rumble/rattle from up-front. It sounds like something isn't screwed down tight enough, however I made sure everything was tight with the tools I was using (I used a DIY garage and they had professional tools so I didn't use rubbish tools.)

Is there a particular item that it could be, based on the things I changed? I'm going back to the DIY garage tomorrow to finish the jobs I didn't have time to do today - brake pads and oil change. So I will check every bolt then, however any thoughts in the mean time (to narrow it down and potentially save me time) would be great!
