Hey guys,
Posted this in the XI subforum and have 66 views and no comments!
Just picked up my first E46 coming from an 88 E30 w/420k miles(DD work car) and still running but wanted something newer so i bought an 02 325xi 5-speed with 66k miles. Has the cold weather package and sport package.
I have some questions and have been searching but my results always come back inconclusive.
Here is where I am at:
1. I have a low pitched whine at above 45mph(could be lower but i cant hear it) when in 5 gear applying very lite gas. The noise goes away with moderate gas or no gas at all. I read that it could be the center support bearing and that it needs to be insulated, but also read that 02 models already have the insulation. Is this correct?
2. When shifting gears and letting out the clutch there is a slight "thud" sound from the rear like i just dropped the clutch. I read that this could be a bushing but the weird this is that it doesn't happen every time. Its just random.
3. When I get to about 55mps there is a vibration like a out of balance tire but the steering wheel does not shake like usual, also when around 70mph you can hear the droning sound but still no vibration, Wheel bearing?
That is it for now. Any insight would be appreciated. :thumbsup:
