The rattling noise in your BMW 2 Series engine could be caused by a number of factors. It could indicate an issue with the timing chain, the tensioner, or the variable valve timing system. It's important to have this checked out by a qualified mechanic to determine the exact cause and to prevent any further damage to your engine.

I've had the same issue with my BMW 2 Series and it turned out to be a problem with the exhaust manifold. If the rattling noise is coming from the front of the engine, this could be the cause. I would recommend taking it to a trusted mechanic to have it checked. They may need to replace the manifold if it's causing the noise.
