Car looked quite good, but when the engine was started from cold with the bonnet open, I was disappointed that the engine sounded very clattery.... almost sounded like a diesel engine. And I'm pretty sure it's not a pulley noise.The dealer told me that this spec of engine is like that.... not sure if it's BS or not. Is the 325i (3.0 NA) engine a direct injection ? I do know that direct injection engines tend to be noiser..Anyone own one of these engines ?? Is it normal ?.... My 323i certainly doesn't sound like this.I just wanted to verify, a friend of mine might be interested in the car....</p></blockquote><p></p>
