'94 325ic whines like a jet engine - Gearbox??
1994 325i convertible -
Had car for about 3 months. Love it but recently noticed a 'whining' noise whilst driving. Sounds like a high pitched jet engine noise. It's not always there but probably around 70% of the time. Can be loud at times. As i accelerate it gets a higher and higher pitch before dropping a tone as the car shifts up a gear ( auto), then starts all over again... Doesn't whine when car is sitting in neutral when I rev so it's something thats happening whilst moving - bearings, diff or gearbox I think.. Appears as much as I can tell whilst driving to be coming from behind me - back middle somewhere?? Given it is affected by the gear change I am thinking gearbox?? What is it? Is it serious? Car appears to be driving fine! Thanks Ged |
