E92 M3 Transmission whine

taffyjason · 09-23-2013, 06:23 AM

Hi all,

Under acceleration i can hear what can best describe as 'transmission whine', it's quite distracting and am worried it's a fault diff or gearbox. It increases in amplitude the higher the rev range in each gear.

Also i have noticed there is a 'clunk' through the chassis when changing gear sometimes...

I have a 27k miles manual E92 M3.

I have tried to search for this but cannot find anything yet.

Many thanks

You're in the Non-M forums Sir, might get better help on M3 Post.

ok just wondered if it might have been a generic manual E90/2 issue, but thanks i'll try there too

posting a video might help people get a better idea of what the sounds are.. But it doesnt sound too bad to me. M3s might have more square gear profiles and that would make a noise

It's more of a dull thud felt through the chassis, just making sure whilst it's under warrenty that everything is tickety-boo !
