The issue could be aerodynamic.
Had BMW change a windshield once (not on my present car.) All OEM parts and dealer install, but the trim was installed slightly off. As a result, the car would whistle between 60-65MPH! .

Update for future searchers:
The issue is definitely from the differential; to be more specific, it's caused by the LSD pinion bearing. If you car is making this noise, then you need to bring it to BMW ASAP. If the car is under warranty, they replace the entire Diff as they don't bother with rebuilding any more. If you are out of warranty then you have the option to rebuild, but BMW does not sell any of the internal parts; so parts need to be sourced directly from the manufacturer.

Thank you so much for taking the time to post the vid!!! Really appreciate it. I'm 98% sure that this is not the noise my car makes. If I'm not mistaken in my car it happens in low RPM's (1500 -2000) in 3rd, 4th and 5th and continue to happen even if off the throttle. But will confirm tomorrow. Thanks again!!

Mine has a kind of screaming sound when under WOT (it's NOT just the engine or the wife, funny guy!).

In my case noise is more noticeable in 5th at approx 2k rpms. Took the car to the dealer. Chief tech took a drive with me and heard the sound. PUMA case was opened. The checked transmission, differential, bearings, etc. It was NOT the differential in my case. Sound source pinpoint to transmission (DCT). Transmission checked, multiple tests were done (pressures, clutches, fluid, etc). Result: normal operating condition/normal operating sound. As I have said before, I believe I hear this sound from day one. I think I'm to paranoid with my M. However, no harm in getting the car checked at the dealer. Hope this helped.

I'm only a few weeks in on my M3 but I have learned not to chase noises. I used to chase noises on my first corvette. I quickly learned to "let it break" or get so bad that the problem is easily identified. I had a popping in one of my wheels and after several U-Joint changes (because every mechanic said "definitely U-Joint") the noise was still there... I was so fed up with it finally said "EFF IT, let the wheel fall off" and just dealt with the noise... nothing ever came of it and eventually sold the car. Truth is, when mechanics are chasing noises they are guessing at the expense of your checkbook... |
