I too have the whistle noise, only after starting the engine and then only for a few miles untl it starts to heat up.
For me it rater sounds like a sound caused by pressurized gases going through a small orifice. There is no direct relation between the turbos rpm and the sound (wich would cause some sort of hardwired frequency in relation to the turbos rpm's) but rather between the boost/catback pressure and the sound. The sound immediately stops when going off throttle (when shifting), but the turbos themselves then still spool at high enough rpms wich should still cause the whistle, wich is not the case. My conclusion is that the whistle isn't caused by a mechanical part in rotation, but rather some sort of internal "leak" until parts are warming up. Could be bad internal tolerances or worn shafts (perhaps even the wastegate lever shafts) or whatever else. As even some brand new turbos are causing it I wouldn't worry too much, I really doubt BMW is selling broken genuine stock turbos. Last edited by serotoninsteve; 03-26-2013 at 10:20 PM.. |

don't know if this adds anything to the discussion but I never had this till I installed dp's hated it so much that after 3months of running these pulled them off and reinstalled factory dp's and now I still have the siren noise but a lot more faint then with them . noise is only when cold, after car warms up its completely gone.

Anybody have any theories they would like to throw out there? I have laid mine out. None have a clear conclusion however. Has anybody had a serious issue due to this noise?

my car sounded like crap. almost got to the point that I thought the turbos were going to explode. it would be a loud siren, then almost raspy if pushed a little more. and I'm not talking full throttle, maybe a third. especially in the taller gears. it was so loud, it was embarrassing and didn't want to pass anyone. Dealership called today and will be replacing them under cpo. they said it took them a while to narrow down and reproduce the sound. they must have not taken it on the highway. they also said it hasn't been common for them. they said they replace a lot for the wastegate though.

Update: i have posted on this thread for the same siren sound that some of us have, including me. i have a jb4 g5iso and with the wastegate position set to 10 i have noticed the siren gone. Went back to 80 and sound was back. I tried it once more at 10 and it was gone. I hope that this may help out some for those that have this siren sound. It may not work for everyone depending on the condition of your wastegates. Its odd i know but it works for me.

Just got her back last night. The car is a whole new vehicle now. So smooth, no noise whatsoever. I had an idle issue and that's gone now too. Also smelled like I was burning oil. One turbo was leaking oil onto the exhaust.
Got another good word. The tech accidentally dropped my water pump and they replaced it in addition. Gotta love that. All covered under CPO. |

I got my turbos replaced 700 miles ago and I'm also having the oscillation issue and the siren noise. My issue is I got my turbos replaced just under 82k and now I'm 500 miles over 82k :/ |

I don't think the turbo siren noise is any good indication of the turbos wearing out. The reason is I had the turbo siren noise for over 2 years and it never got worse. I probably had it for longer than that, even, since I immediately started hearing the noise upon getting more free-flowing intakes. The whistle/siren always went away once the oil warmed up and got slicker.

I had the exact same sound as in the first vid after I installed my DPs. I then adjusted the DP's to make sure they weren't touching anything and the sound went away completely.
Edit: I noticed the siren is still there under a left had turn only... Last edited by GODDSPD; 12-09-2014 at 01:15 PM.. |
