Evening all,
I've recently purchased a 330cd M sport, on a 55 plate, 24k miles, manual. Lovely car and my first foray into BMW ownership. The thing is when I turn the engine off it really sounds like a bag of bolts, I mean it's not horrendous (no over run, no problem actually switching off) but it's noticable notheless. I also own a 120k mile 2.5tdi audi and it sounds nothing like the BMW.

Does anyone else own a 330cd who can tell me whether this is normal?? I don't really want to go to the dealer and ask, although it is under their used car warranty...

TIA
