F31 330d X Drive Clicking sound when RPM's increase

[hulksta]

Hi all,

Wondering if anyone could help and shed some light an a issue that has cropped up on my F31 330d xdrive.

I can distinctly hear a metallic clicking sound coming from the engine area when I increase the RPMs. It starts at around 2000 rpms and stays there.
This only happens when accelerating. There is no sound when I let off the pedal.
The car drives as it should, no smoke, no power loss etc.

What could this possibly be linked to.

Thank you

Maybe timing chain.

Have a listen when you start from cold for a rattle

There’s no sound when starting from cold. It starts and sounds exactly like my previous 330d.
Rattle is their when I rev the car or drive.
It does get quieter when it is warm, but still there.

Anyways, anyone got a recommendation for someplace that can do warrantied repair in the north west Manchester area?
Might as well get ahead and get it done to prevent a blown engine.

Thank you
