Sound from rear wheelhouse (Video)

Andreas89 · 07-19-2020, 02:14 PM

Hello,

Wanted to check here before I hand in the car to a repair shop. Do you think BMW's warranty covers this, or does it count as wear and tear?

You will hear the sound mostly around places where the sound can bounce, ie between houses or walls. You hear it when driving, if you have the windows down, otherwise not. Had this issue since the start I think, just that I did not have the windows down so much and noticed it.

-Tested to disassemble everything and check for issues.
-Tried to spin the wheel without brake pads on, the same sound occurs.
-Tried to bend the plate + look for stones.

Clip 1:

Clip 2:

Anyone had similar or the same problem?

/Andreas

Probably a pebble stuck in one of the brake dust shields. You can reach in by hand and pull on them to see if anything falls out.
