Humming sound
So I've have my 335d about 3 weeks now. Driving to work this morning, I started hearing a humming sound that started around 60 mph and faded out about 75, peaking in loudness at about 70. The sound only changed with speed, not rpms. Also, I don't feel a vibration or anything through the steering wheel.
The sound wasn't a constant hum at the same pitch, but the pitch went up and down. Does this sound like a wheel bearing? I tried to take a video to get the sound but my phone only picked up the road noise. |

Sounds like wheel bearing, left the front end, and spin the wheel as fast as you can and see if you hear it, also grab the tire at 12 and 6 oclock and see if you have play.

Bringing this thread back. OP did you find out what the issue was? I think I am experiencing the exact same thing as you described, I'm getting a pulsating humming sound at highway speeds but only when I'm turning left and it gets faster the harder I turn. Going straight and right everything is quiet. I'm thinking it may be the front right wheel bearing but there is no play in it when I jacked it up and pulled on the tire. The only sound I hear from it is the pad rubbing on the rotor.
