E53 amg coupé
Ive just found this thread online and simply came by to let you guys know that this sound was present from the day i collected my coupé 53 amg from the dealer.
I have driven 143000 kms with this car. Mostly at high speeds on country roads and motorways. This engine turned out to be pretty reliable since im driving quite aggressively all the time, pushing it from 220kph all the way to 278 kph where the limiter kicks in. I even thought of getting a stage1 tune, but later decided not to since its pretty complicated getting it done (new CPS module, limter deletes etc.).
I have a friend whos a pretty good mechanic and had the oil change done every 8-10000 kms. Never an issue with this car other than wearing parts, like brakes (3rd set of rotors and 5th pads) hardy plates etc.
Now i have a weird whistling noise coming under hard acceleration but im guessing i have a small leak in the pipe after the conpression wheel. Acceleration seems fine though.
There was a recurring check engine light for like half a year though with the 2nd lambda sensor showing faulty mix but that suddenly never came back anymore.
Anyway, i never bothered with the rattling noise and the car still does 100-200 in 11.5 seconds so i think its nothing to worry about.
Take care.
