help: what is this sound?

ejazbmw · 11-30-2011, 04:27 PM

just noticed today every time i let off the gas i hear like an grinding/whistling sound, almost like the sound you would hear from brakes squeaking (im not dumb its the not the brakes lol). every time i press the brakes the sound goes away so that took brakes out of the equation . Its kinda loud too i can't hear it when the windows are up but you can definitely hear it when there down. Currently only have dp and jb4 as performance mods and the car only has 23xx miles. I swear this is my last 335 or bmw

If every time you press the brakes the sound goes away wouldn't you think it has something to do with the brakes?? Rotors, brake pads, calipers???

but im not pressing the brakes when it makes the sound wouldn't the brakes squeal if i were actually braking? its while im off the gas

I had the same problem. It's the brakes... Something with the pads not shaped right. Dealer will change ll 4 brakes for free

jyust take the tune out and take it to the dealer. They're not going to look for downpipes when you're making a claim for brakes.

ejazbmw · 11-30-2011, 07:31 PM

went for a drive a few mins ago its has to be the brakes or something....so odd though never had this problem without actually braking

cn555ic · 11-30-2011, 07:34 PM

If your saying its the brake then you just contradicted yourself on your first post!!! HAAHAHA

i don't know i never had a stupid car that made brake sound without actually applying the brakes...

Sometimes rocks and dirt get caught up between the rotor shield and and will make this sound. Get a hose and hose the area where the noise is. Hopefully it might dislodge the fragment if there is one. Did you recently go through a newly paved blacktop?

When was camber-toe a mod? Lol

It'll be a while. Hibernation is in effect now.

itsbrokeagain · 11-30-2011, 11:31 PM

the pads are noisy..the dealer will prolly change em for you regardless of if you have a tune or not.
