Well My i got my M3 today , it's a Euro with S50B30 block and an S50B32 head , it was a 6 spd manual but after the trans. failed the owner fit the 5 spd manual in it since couldn't find parts for the 6spd one .
the car drive smooth , fast and strong , runs pretty well with no vibrations of weird noises ...except one, after noon when i turned the engine , out of nowhere rattling noise appeared, clearly audible from the inside and the outside , so i freaked out thinking that it my be coming from the engine... but it's not cause when i hit the gas and the RPM go higher the noise will not follow the RPM and remain the same.. i floor the clutch pedal also the noise won't go...it's like the noise coming from underneath the driver to the middle area , to not do more harm i turned the engine off and directly before the engine is dead it rattled more and stopped.
i called the guy who sold it to me and said that it's normal , it's because they swapped the 6spd with a 5spd , and most M3's Euro 6spd do rattle sometimes..
i went back to the car , the rattle is still there but this time i drove it , as soon as the car rolled the rattle is gone, i reached a stop sign...but no rattle it disappeared , the car is running and pulling hard....so drove it for 2 hours , no rattle at all or weird things , i parked it , then earlier tonight turned it back on the rattle is there again!
it seems that the rattle exist at idle while the car is a bit cold or not moved and when i turn of the engine , but while driving or stopping at red lights it's not there... could it be true cos of the 6spd swap or something to do with the clutch? and i don't know if it have a light flywheel also...if it helps with the reasons.
i need help...thanks.
