335i owners

Anyone getting a thump noise when they brake and again when they accelerate quickly. Seems to be coming from the RHS undercarriage. It's a single "thump" just about when the car is stopped, then if you accelerate quickly it happens again. I've removed everything from the boot.

no, is it reproducible? i'd get a dealer to check it out

Nothing on mine. I'd get the dealer to check it out.

I was getting that "thump" noise too but then I realised it was my wife's head hitting the headrest when I was accelerating the dash when braking.

Hmmm…..in your case could it be the brake function (that holds you car still when on a hill) not activating/deactivating properly. Or maybe a suspension noise.

Cheers.

Oh CaptOz, i'm starting to feel sorry for your wife!

lumpy · 07-29-2007, 07:15 AM

Is the car standard, or modified exhaust or suspension?

dealer to re-align the brake calipers. Had it when i changed my brake pads and i didnt put the calipers all the way to straighten the brake lining. result was the brake line pushing the calipers

I heard a strange thump noise from the right hand rear the other day come just as I started to accelerate. Hasn't happened again so I'm not concerned at this stage but it's just as Graham reported. It might not be exclusive to the 335.

BMW //MPOWER · 08-08-2007, 04:58 AM

Could it possibly be due to the jack not being secured properly? (the e90/2's still come with these don't they?)
