Wheel bearings?
Getting a clicking sound from the front driver side wheel in hard right turns. Seems to "click" faster/louder with cornering force. Anyone experience similar?
I took the wheel off and no obvious damage to any of the boots/etc in the wheel well. Will send in to the dealer but just curious if anyone else has seen this. |

Mine clicks lightly when I back out and turn but not all the time. Have not tried to listen on harder turns, windows usually up as to not hear the brake squeal.

There is a thread on this forum somewhere,
I had the same light clicking noise when turning the wheel. I had BMW check for the wheel bearing etc. all was good. Turned out to be after the break in service they did not tighten the stiffing plates bolts under the car enough. I will try to find the post. Here it is read this https://f90.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1529616 |

Update. Dealer says the car needs both front axles replaced. On order from Germany will take a few weeks. Car ok to drive so i will get it back. All under warranty.

the clicking was also an issue on the F85 X5Ms as well, but bearings were the issue there. BMW could never fully solve it. and some had to live with it

Hello Hoffmeister! I have the same issue as you. The sound gets worse the faster and harder I take turns in both directions. Did new front axels solve that sound issue? Did the dealer ever tell you what the issue was with the axels? Thanks! |

One more thing- i was lucky my dealer knows me pretty well, recognizes i buy a lot of cars from him and really listens if I have an issue. I will say it was a very subtle sound and i was grateful they didnt try to push back on it. That said, i think other posts here also confirm this issue is not abnormal for big heavy high powered bmws. Especially if you drive em like you stole em (which in theory is what they are designed for).

Anyways so far they have changed the brakes disks thinking I was some dirt or something trapped between the caliper and the rotors. That did not solve anything so after that they replaced the bearings however the clicking sound still exists. After seeing your post I have told them that the same part (front axles) probably needs replacement. The dealership still thinks their "experts" believe it's dirt trapped between the brake rotor and caliper. My M5 has been with them for over 40 days and at the point the only thing that's stopping me from getting furious is the fact that they have given me a brand new 8 series to drive around since day one. Btw below is one of our drives in our 'Mexico' lol |
