    I have a 2006 330CI ZHP with a 6 speed and I keep hearing this annoying tinny sorta metal scratchy noise coming from the car. My clutch isn't worn out or slipping. It catches just fine and doesn't give me any issues. I can't pinpoint where the sound is coming from since it only happens when I'm...

    Hi all, I have an 04 325i 5mt touring. Since it's getting colder in the Netherlands I've been hearing this strange rattle on cold starts. the engine only does this the first second while it's cold. I had the Vanos unit revised about 2 months ago. so that shouldn't be the problem. the engine...

    I have a grind coming from the rear passenger side of my car, only happens around 60km/h-70km/h with a little bit of throttle. vibrates fairly quick and than gets more pronounced if I keep the throttle the same. Also when I start it first thing in the morning occasionally it will start to...

    Hi guys, so im pretty sure my front right wheel bearing on my 04' 325ci is getting worn out. Heck, its been making noise for the past two years (about 20k miles) or so and now its getting a little more annoying, not really loud but just... annoying. I have not had any trouble driving my car so...

    I was driving home tonight, then all of a sudden I noticed a groaning noise when I got to a red light. I didn't think much of it, and kept going - then I changed lanes and heard a grinding-like-groan. Now as soon as I even touch my wheel basically it sounds like a grinding-groan. I had my dad...
