justinsoong 0 Report post Posted March 10, 2012 hi recently became a first time owner of a bmw, e39 1998 525i. But sadly making hissing noises, sounds like shaking loose change noises on small bumps on the road. Bought from dealer who, changed front brake rotors, caliper and pads OEM as part of the sale. From experiences, does this sound like a suspension issue, or could something be loose...? I also have low profile tires, could that be my issue? Any trusted garages in wellington who could help assess? Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OneSeventy 1 Report post Posted March 11, 2012 This may not be it, but I'll mention it just in case. I had a 'loose change' noise in my E46 that pissed me off for a good week or so, and after a while I got my girlfriend to listen while I drove and she said it was coming from the rear of the car. Turned out to be a loose tool in the tool compartment attached to the underside of the bootlid. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
