I have a rattleing sound, kinda like what you'd get from shaking a spray paint can commit from the front of my M54 3.0 engine. I hear it at idle once the car is warm, it is not as loud when the car is cold.

On note the car has 104K miles on it if that helps... Also I unplugged the DISA valve and the noise is still there. I probed around with a automotive stethoscope but could not find the source.

Any ideas?
