Dear all. My 2004 316i starts fine and idles fine. When I rev past 1500 rpm, it sounds like a diesel car, and even if revs drops back to normal, the sound stays.
If I turn off the engine and start again, it idles fine until I touch the gas pedal.
Mechanic is clueless.
Oil is OK, chain and Vanos were changed 3 years ago.
Any suggestions?
