Following this - I have the same issue on my 2000S. I rebuilt the motor and it started after rebuild - right around 2500 RPM. I have all new chains/guide rails/vario ramps. I have 5 months of winter to debug and figure it out, but not sure on where to even start!

Thanks for sharing this pain, it seems not a serious issue with no performance degradation etc but it sure is bothering!

I take your input basically eliminating those components. I have no record of those valvetrain parts replaced, but several oil changes and filter gut-check in the last 15K miles yielded zero debris to suspect excessivel wear on them.

Let’s hope for the resolution soon!
