BMW 2007 130i exhaust related rattle

Recommended Posts

Hello my 130i has started having a random rattle at low revs that I think is related to the exhaust system / heat sheild but unsure as dont have access to a hoist and struggling to get my nose under when driven on to a couple of 6x2 

I did think that perhaps it was the exhaust butterfly , but have done the " golf tee mod" and still have the noise.  Giving the muffler a wee push with my foot there is a small rattle  towards to mid of the car, could this be the cat convertor and if so can i get this cut out and a straight thru put in its place without cheating a " drone" at various revs?

Advise / help appreciated.  and or recommendations on who I should take car to in Wellington.. dont mind paying for a cash job on a sat/ sun so long as workmanship is good  ( i have grown an affection for the old girl 😉😵💫)

 

thanks in advance

update:  issue was due to exhaust support champ #7 being slightly loose
