Better than "what's this bullet shaped thing with wires in my passenger side grill??".
Or
"Which tires are best?"

Bought my car with 47,xxx miles on it. Had the rattle issue you describe. Had the car for about 4 days and drove it 50 miles or so before I put it on a tow truck and sent to my indy shop for IMS, Clutch and Oil change. Car was towed due to distance of shop. Picked car up, rattle remains to this day (work was done in August). If you depress the clutch and let it out slowly (still in neutral) the noise should not be there. It only occurs on quick neutral releases. Not sure what it is and my indy shop couldnt give me a direct answer either. They say it is common.

Slightly off topic, but Castrol Edge 0W40, 5 qt is now available at Walmart for the same price ($25.17) as Mobil 1 0W40, 5 qt.

Excellent news. I didn't see the Castrol last time I was buying oil at Walmart-- a month ago.

Oil
Have you looked at the Joe Gibbs DT40 5w-40 this is more in line with the German engine design spec.

And the oil was developed with an M96/97 engine as the developmental mule.

Thanks, good information. My mechanic is draining the transmission fluid and looking for metal shavings. If none, I am just going to chance it and hope for the best.

I would be a liar if I did not admit that upon seeing this thread I rubbed my hands together in anticipation and let out a "it's on" style war cry.
