hello All. I own a 1989 [g] 530i se. A strange noise has started to come on in the last few days. It is loudest when the car is cold and comes on when I brake, it is a vibrating, whiring,buzzing sound and seems to come from the righthand bulkhead. I have also noticed this sound after starting up the car ,moving for a few yards then it comes on [buzzing] then goes off. Any Ideas Best Regards John ------------- WITS END |

Is your car manual? Could it be the bearings on the clutch? I bought an E39 (523i SE) which seems to have a problem with the bearings on the clutch. When you floor the clutch when the car is idling, the noise disappears. If yours is manual, try this. |

No help to you really, but I hear a strange, though quiet noise sometimes. Most noticeable first thing. Even before I start the engine there is a faint whirring sound from the centre console, maybe the aircon panel... I wonder if there is a small fan or something to push or pull air over the internal air temperature sensor or something? Would like to know though ------------- Lord Grover of Sodbury... Love God
