Clicking/tapping noise from drivers side front wheel arch

Post by Obsidian » Fri Sep 30, 2011 9:50 pm

Hi all

Odd one this. As the subject suggests, I have a clicking/tapping noise coming from the front wheel/wheel arch. The noise starts as soon as I set off, speeds up as the car speeds up, slows down as the car slows down. It doesn't make any noise when I'm not moving but instantly returns as soon as I set off again. I checked to make sure nothing was caught in the wheel arch, the nothing is stuck to the wheel etc. All clean as far as I can see.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

I saw mention on the US e89 forums of something similar. It was related to a pin in the caliper being loose. I'd suggest the dealer takes a look.

Perhaps check out ; http://e89.zpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=587058

It might not be the same, but worth checking...
