swordfish 30 Report post Posted December 16, 2010 hello guys, on tuesday evening i was driving my car (M3 95 Euro) out on the street and suddenly very strange noise came out of nowhere! So i have stoped the car and had a look around... Found nothing. The noise appear to be coming from the back, only happens when driving in 3rd and 4th gear mainly however sometimes appear in the second as well, in the lover rev range (1500 to 2300). The noise tends to arise when you drive at a contstant speed and tends to go away if you push the accelerater or when the revs get too low or when clutch i pressed. The nature of the noise: it is like a ruttling noise, like if someone would attach a stick to the drive shaft and it would hit the body everythime it goes through one point. We have had a look under the car, on that rubber bit that connects the part of the drive train to the gear box (it looks like new!!!) all the other visible things tend to be good as well. I really need help! What could it be? Cheers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
