    S50 Rattling noise

    Hello.
    I have seen that this rattle might come from the Vanos needing a rebuild.
    Any opinions?

      hard to tell from that vid. Engine noise kinda droned it out for me.

      How many miles are on it?
      I don't always wreck cars, but when I do I wreck them into trees.

          Can't hear much, sounds like either the vanos or the chain tensioner.
