SOLVED! F36 Strange metallic noise-rear left wheel-VIDEO

Wojtasso · 04-06-2019, 06:46 AM

Hi everyone!
I can hear metallic noise coming from the rear left wheel which is really getting me mad... Two BMW dealers was trying to identify this noise but they gave up and said that they don't know what can it be... They also told me that they can replace many of parts and in this way they can diagnose origin of this f**** noise, but my wallet said-NO

So, I will be very appriciate if someone will know from where is it coming out, or which part I should replace

The noise appears only at low speeds, especially during parking maneuvers.
Thank you in advance for response!

4-7 sec

What noise?

You can hear it between 4 and 7 second on the video. I can compare it to the sound of crushing metal tin can.

I can't hear anything other than background noise. Try taking a video of at least 30 seconds outside the car in a quiet area.

I will do that, but try to volume up your speakers and at 5, and 6 second you will probably hear two metallic "clicks"

I've just uploaded new fresh video. Now it is really clear to hear.

Problem solved!
It was caused by weight using in balance a tire which was inside wheel between rim and tire...

Bastard!!

So the tire installer somehow left it inside the tire? WTF

Curious, how did you find this was the problem?
Glad it's all sorted now and wasn't something major$$

Yes, thats right. It was my last time changing tires there...

After 3 diagnoses( incorrect btw) by different dealers I decided to go for a local mechanic which are specialized in BMW. Before changing rear rotors and pads they lift my car up and they let the wheels spining on the "D" we easily hear that this noise was coming from left rear rotor, so they told me after change everything should be ok. But when they finished the labour during my way back to home I was still hearing this annoying noise, so I came back. They lifted my car second time and And with using a stethoscope they tried to locate the sound source. Unfortunately, they did not find it immediately, so they decided to put off the wheel to have better access. After pulling the wheel off when they were rolling this wheel to the wall, the wheel started to make that sound so we already knew that we are at home. Initially, we thought that the pressure sensor had broken up, but after removing the tire we saw aview like in the picture above.

Thats the story
