I have something similar to that but its more of a thumping sound. Like two rubber pieces hitting each other.

Hi there- I am experiencing the exact same problem with my BMW 335i

I took into the dealer twice and I cannot re-produce the problem. They say they can't help me unless they hear it.

Any idea on what BMW did to help you?

any help would kindly be appreciated.

Description: Grinding noise fluctuating slightly to slightly high to low tones, it kinda resonates in terms of sound and I can feel it in the passenger feet area when I am going for a ride.

Anyone else have this problem, I have had it for like 8,000 miles and thought it was normal til I found out the 0-20mph Squeaking that everyone is experiencing is different than this.

Also it stops when the motor is warmed up.

Any solutions? I will try to get video on it.

Just noticed my car is doing the same thing. Any official cause/fix?

NjPrince · 11-28-2011, 02:54 PM

Hey my car does the same thing i dont know why either

PiZauL · 11-29-2011, 06:24 AM

Appears this will remain a mystery, and a common problem. Sounds like something isn't lubricated.. hope its not a wheel bearing. Wonder if CPO warranty covers that..

I should also note that on my car the noise does not stop when the motor warms up. It very well could be the brakes too, maybe?
