    I think you should not drive it to the dealer, have them flatbed it in.

    The high pressure fuel pump definitely causes the injectors to "rattle" more...

    Your noise is much louder than my injectors...

    The thing is.... Did they document the complaint and did you get a copy of the paperwork... If so, just file it away with your other MINI records in case there is an issue down the road....

    It's good to have documentation that you brought it to their attention... :Thumbsup:

    Welcome, thanks for joining Motoring Alliance, the FUN and Friendly MINI Community.

    Have you checked the oil level?

    To be honest, I didn't because we just took it home with 30 miles on the meter! I will go check now :)

    This is a brand new 2015 R60 that's sounding like this?

    Is so. Take it right back to the dealer!

    They said all is normal. Showed them the video and everything. They showed me other countrymans engines as well. I left the report in the car- something about injectors. I'll type it out for you guys when my husband gets home. :/

    I had an F56 as a loaner this past week and If it's the same 2.0 turbo which I'm pretty sure it is, it sounded very similar to that. Almost like a lil diesel.

    My F56 with the B46 motor sure as heck doesn't sound like this. My old '07 MCS didn't sound that bad just before they replaced the timing chain cassette.
