    Hi everyone, I have a 2014 F34 320i sportline, 85,000kms/52,000 miles. For the last year or so, I've had a clunking noise coming from the RHD driver's side front suspension, but only when going over small bumps at low speeds. I've had the control arms replaced and the problem still persists...
  2. E36/7 Z3 (1996-2002)
    Hello everyone, I recently purchased my 01 Z3 Coupe about 2 weeks ago and it started making a extremely loud noise when up and down shifting. When down shifting it feels as if the rear wheels are locking up and brake checking me. This noise is only when shifting, idle and driving is fine. Was...

    I just replaced my front struts, and now there is a fairly violent clunk in the steering wheel when going straight. The clunk disappears when I turn the wheel slightly left or right, and isn't there when going around corners. It's only when going straight (basically between 11 and 1 on the...
  4. E60 / E61 (2004 - 2010)
    my 2008 bmw with 120 000km has had an issue with a clunking noise when it goes over uneven surfaces but especially when i go up sideways up a ramp. It pops/clunks over the front dashboard or possible engine area when it happens. It drives fine and doesn't do it when not under some sort of...

    This noise is not new to me. Here is how it happens: When car is being started up, in the very first or second second while the startup process is happening, I can hear a mild to load clunk noise coming from the engine. Here is how I can describe it: Metal to metal, like hammering a metal...

    2009 328 (E92) 118000 miles Help!! When at a stop, foot on brake, in drive, I will occasionally feel a small thump that occurs after I have been sitting still for 30 seconds or so. I should stress that the car is not moving, pressure on the brake pedal is constant - no let up in pressure and...
  7. E60 / E61 (2004 - 2010)
    Hello fellow members. I just signed up today and wanted to see if anyone knows exactly what causes the 'Thump' when starting the engine. I just brought a 2008 530i with 102,000km. NZ NEW and service history from new. Some days it thumps more gently than other days. Hot or cold it still...
  8. E60 / E61 (2004 - 2010)
    I started hearing this sound, like something loose on the right front side. I had someone drive the car so I looked and listened, thought the caliper was loose. Took it off, inspected, nothing. :dunno: Today after doing that, while jacked up, grabbed the tire and wiggled it. Pushing and pulling...

    Hello all, A few weeks ago I replaced my driveshaft, see This Thread Here After about 10-15 miles of driving and coming to a stop, I noticed that when letting the clutch out and moving forward, I feel a clink (word choice is specific) in the shifter and pedals. With the windows down its...

    What's up everyone, I'm new to this site if you guys could reach out to me that would be great. OK so my car has the chills as I'm driving both front end thrust arm bushings were shot, so I went ahead and replaced both front upper control arms meyle brand that I bought from Bavarian auto sport...
  11. E36 (1991 - 1999)
    I've looked all over the Internet, searched every single website for BMWs, and have come up empty handed. My problem, there is a clunk coming from the rear of the car when I shift, go over a bump, or have one of the back wheels dip into a pothole. It sounds like a hollow clunk and can be heard...
  12. X5 E53 (1999 - 2006)
    Hello! Has anyone had this issue? This is my first snow in my 2000 BMW X5, and I can hear a pretty noticeable clunk when the AWD kicks in... Is this normal? It has over 137k miles, maybe I need to have the diff oil changed? I've had several other AWD cars in the past, have not noticed them...

  15. X5 E70 (2007 - 2013)
    Hi, I'm usually sane. Not today however. With that said, I have an issue that just cropped up. I just picked up an 08 X5 3.0 si a few months ago. ~50,000 miles on it so relatively young. Recently I started hearing a terrible noise of a whining :cry: coming from the front and continued to get...
  16. E46 (1999 - 2006)
    Sorry to have a few different threads going but I have quite a few issues! :( This one: When I'm letting out the clutch, there's a "clunk" coming from the rear. Reverse, 1st, 2nd....whatever. I can sit in reverse and push clutch in,out,in,out and hear the clunk every time I let it out. Only in...
  17. E36/7 Z3 (1996-2002)
    Whats up community? I just bought my 2.8 99 Z3 with 80k miles. Car runs really good aside from this seemingly common clunking noise that i believe comes from somewhere near the rear diff when I'm shifting. Kind of more when I accelerate quickly in a low gear and then let off the gas too fast...

    Hey guys, this is my first post and I wish it was under better circumstances. I JUST purchased a 2004 325Ci 5-speed from a reputable BMW dealership and am having problems already . She drove perfectly on the test drive and all the way home, but now she knows she has been paid for and wants to...
