E46 M3 odd sound |
|
|
Hi. I've noticed a rather odd sound coming from the rear of my car, a 2001
M3 Coupe. It sort of sounds like "whooooph-whooooph". It's a low frequency
sound and is usually heard while making low-speed left turns. Has anyone
heard this as well?

It's the diff and is "normal" behaviour. BMW can sell you some
"enhanced" oil to try to resolve the problem. |

waffled on about something:

Hard to go on a text version of a sound, but could it be a wheel
bearing?

On an e36 I had a sound that I woud describe the same way, turned out
to be one of the rims was slightly out of round, so when turning it
enhanced the pressure on the "oblong" wheel and made the defect more
noticable. |

My gut instinct is that you have a wheel bearing going out.
