Why do I hear a rattling noise when I shift gears in my BMW M5?

I recently purchased a used BMW M5 and noticed that when I shift gears, I hear a rattling noise coming from the transmission. Is this a common issue with the M5 and should I be concerned?

Hi Tom! The rattling noise you hear when shifting gears is not a common issue with the BMW M5. It could be a sign of a worn out clutch or a loose transmission component. I recommend taking your car to a certified mechanic for a thorough inspection to properly diagnose the issue.
