I had 3500 miles on the car and this happened two months after delivery.

I hope this information can help you out.
Thanks again for getting me that info... It was real nice to have some background when dropping off my car this morning. My car isnt making the noise today, but based off the video i took, they seem to think its either the Main seal or the Belt tensioner.

Hopefully should hear back from them early next week on what they end of fixing.

Till then, im rollong in a nice 328 loaner
