Turbo flutter
Does anyone have turbo flutter on their car? Is it normal?

I think it might be compressor surge. They both sound alike. It happens when engine braking.
If it is compressor surge, than it's the diverter valve that needs to be replaced, right? My first turbo car.

The 135i owners seem to hear it on their cars.

Same here. On a 135i, 335i, or 535i just compare if it's the same noise.
