Does it go quiet when you dip the clutch, & slight whirring noise when you re-engage? |
My E90 6MT makes the whirring noise. Noticed it about a week after I bought the car while sitting at the red light. Sounds like something rotating in an elliptical pattern behind the stereo area of the dash. I thought maybe something to do with the flywheel, but I'm not a mechanic and that's probably way off.
At any rate, I read a few threads stating it's normal for these cars and decided not to worry about it.
