Going to view a car tomorrow, a 535i Sport. I've owned E36's before but never a 5 Series. Seller reckons the car is mechanically sound but for clutch rattle. I've never heard of this before, so should I be concerned?

Is there anything else to check/look out for?

The release bearing rattles, my e28 535i did it too, you can leave it, and it will do no harm. It does sound a bit crap mind you, and if it a keeper probably worth sorting.

Very common 'issue' (if you can call it that) with these cars. Nothing to worry about at all.
