Electrical buzzing on 20i - throttle related - FIXED
- Thread starter jwa1
- Start date
Happy to confirm mine has been fixed and there is a technical bulletin as jwa1 suggested.
I simply described the issue to the dealer and suggested it was the fuel line attached to the bulkhead that was vibrating. They had to order a part (to remount) and all noise is completely gone; all covered under warranty.

I have had my 2013 2.0 m sport for a month, brought as used approved I have done about 400 miles its been in for new roof micro switches , so I had this buzzing noise as well so thought right lets get it all done while under warranty,
had the car booked in yesterday told them the fault , they rang me late yesterday afternoon couldn't find a problem they had another z4 there and it made the same noise. so I politely told him I work as a site manger and have build 300 houses but if I have 2 houses with leaks it doesn't make it alright.
he then went off to talk to the technician and see if there was a puma reference, 15 minutes later I get a call to say yes there is a bulletin about it and my car qualifies to be done and they have to order a part, so booked in now for next Thursday hopefully this should sort out the buzzing noise.

just revisited the main stealers took the technician out in the car to listen to the noise and he agreed it needs sorting out, so car is booked in for them to have for four days to get sorted, now he has heard it, hopefully this should get sorted only got to wait a fortnight until they can see it
lol I am hoping it doesn't take 4 days to sort, I think now he has heard it, it will be solved in a day, the technician was the biggest bugger you ever did see and hates driving z4's because he doesn't fit into them, so no worries about using it ! its all being done under warranty so no cost to me which is good only had the car 2 months and about 500 miles, I have had 2 roof sensors replaced and now this glad I brought used approved
Hmmm glad I stumbled upon this thread, sounds exactly like a issue I was describing to Smart Bear at a car meet some time ago.
I mentioned it to BMW bath at last service and was fobbed off that it's just a charactaristic.
I've turned the stereo up, and problem solved. However every now and then when I dont have the stereo on, I think its making that noise again. Its due another service, so I will bring it up with them and mention the puma the bulkhead and fuel line.. and see if they can do anything about it. I wonder how much this fix is when not on warranty?
