Does your E90's auto tranny make a rattling noise when you engage to "D"?

c1pinang · 10-20-2007, 08:53 PM

The noise comes and goes, and it seems that it goes away at higher speeds. I knew this gotta be the auto tranny since I dont hear any noise when I rev the engine in Neutral

My car's got 28K miles and just started making this noise. Before I take my car to the dealer, I am just curious if anyone here has experienced this?

I think you posted this on the wrong section. This is the DIY section.

But to also answer your question, I don't have that problem.

No...what kinda rattling?

DrPowers · 10-23-2007, 04:23 PM

I'd definitely get that checked out... Doesnt happen to me.

It's more like bubling noise instead of rattling. The noise is subtle. I am gonna have it checked out sometime next week

Like creak crack?
SAme thing on my car. When you go from P to D you can hear the tranny. I heard its a common problem.

c1pinang · 10-24-2007, 02:48 PM

Yup that's it. The noise is annoying though. Have you taken your car to the dealer yet?

hi,
please describe the noise a bit specificly: does it depend on speed or rpm?
that means: hold the speed when hearing the noise, then change the gear an tell if the noise goes on or not.
if yes: which speed, rpm?

cheers cooter

I heard the 325 and other models before it had that problem, hearing the tranny kick into gear. I think its totally fine.

The noise seems to be going away at higher speeds. The noise is loudest at lower rpm (1k-3k), especially when I move from "neutral" to "drive". It makes the grinding & bubbling noise. Hopefully this is nothing major.
