E36 exhaust Rattle

Hi all,

My 1997 318, has gained a rattle underneath the body, i finally got the car on a ramp this morning, the rattle is coming from the exhaust, its in the middle of the car just after a senser part, running from front to back, what part is this ??? is it a silencer or the catalitic converter??

many thanks

it is probably a heat sheild rattling against your exhaust

Nope definatly not the heat shield, its the cylindrical section underneath it
