Ok I had posted about this under the r55 thread but I'd like to ask all second gen people this.
I have a 09 clubman S 6 speed manual with 55,000 miles on it. I am the third owner. Bought the car 15 days ago. When I purchased the car and during the cold mornings since then I have made a point to listen for the death rattle and have not heard it at all. Just yesterday I got in it and drove to work approximately 3 miles and as I pull into the lot I felt unusual vibration from the engine. I parked it and 3 hours later I cranked it and drove it. The vibration was still present untill I started to back up and when the rpms got to 2,000 I heard a loud thud/pop noise. Then the vibration was gone but now I have a vibration right at the start of first year right after you hit the gas. That went away by 2,000 rpms. I took it home and parked it.
This morning I checked the oil it is full. I looked all over for anything strange. I cranked the car and gave it a lil gas still had the vibration even setting still and I drove it a few feet and it would go away at 1500-2000 rpms I then parked it and I started to hear a noise from the Engine it would get louder and the softer. I hear the noise by the timing cover and also further down by the wheel on the passenger side closer to the back of the engine. I then poped the valve cover off to see if the guides for the chain had broken and all of the guides were intact.
I would love anyone thoughts on this thank you very much.
