2006 330i growl
New guy here. Recently bought a 2006 330i with 68k on it. Im at 72k now and it makes a growling noise at 1100 RPMs and continues to make the noise until you go past or drop below that rpm . The noise is centrally located in the car. Any suggestions on where to start would be greatly appreciated!

That's a normal 330i noise.... Take it past 4k rpm it'll be a roar not a growl.

it sounds like a vibrating/ gear mesh noise. it does it in any gear at 1100 rpm, DS or D and in manual mode. Its annoyin the crap outta me. It just started doing this about a week ago and i havent drove it much since then.
and mine can be duplicated all the time. |

i would get under it and take a look.
i went over a speedbump hard once and it bent a bracket against the exhaust. i swear it sounded like the car was f-ed up good. grinding/vibrating. the bracket im thinking of is near the tranny. with the car running, you could also use your foot to slightly move the exhaust tips left/right/up/down. see if the noise goes away or get worse. if it does, something is rubbing your exhaust somewhere. |
