Like you it only occurs under acceleration with a regular beat, and does not make any sound while coasting or braking. If you get a chance can you ask the SA/tech what the reason is for that metallic sound??? It sounds like its detrimental if they are replacing the motor so I need to find out if BMW can help me at this point! Thanks!

A 3rd party warranty on the 35i isn't anywhere near as crazy as the 50i. Perhaps it's time to see how much it would be.
