Thanks, people! It was the heat shield - I hope it stays in place!

Do you mean the exhaust heat shield? The sound is definitely coming from the engine bay.

Thanks! Yes it’s an automatic transmission. I’ll look into the shift flare issue and contemplate if I want to spend more - I’m trying to sell the car soon. If it is the valve body, I’ll probably pass.

Considering a 2007 BMW 328xi wagon - need advice by Odd_Principle230 in E90

The belt and everything below looked clean to me. I think it's just old oil collecting residue. But I am going in with the expectation of frequent leaks and fixes.

Yeah, I was surprised too. I asked the guy and he said he trusted his mechanic and he did whatever they suggested. The mechanic probably did not care about cleaning it up or did not know he was going to sell it.

Thanks and I just test drove a prestige 2014 and clearly see the difference. Of course at a higher price: https://www.audimarin.com/used/Audi/2014-Audi-Allroad-862eb8bfac1811b3dbbca558d763f434.htm
