Yes. I started getting something like a flywheel chatter at 600km. When I took delivery it had a beautiful tone. Now it sounds like a faint but noticeable marbles in a tin noise at idle. when the clutch engages it goes away. Its like someone is tapping at the middle of your forehead. Its not a very nice sound.
My car was an E92 N54 FBO running on E85. It had a beautiful tone and ran great.
The noise started when I had to keep the car a good acceleration into a major road. The engine was off due to auto stop, and then auto start kicked in, there was a loud metallic thud, and the noise what there ever since.
Is this what you are experiencing? Tell me more please.
