Hi all,
The car went back to the dealers where they investigated the noise from the rear drivers side - sounds like a metallic mosquito above about 35mph. It's not a broken spring (they had replaced one on the other near side rear they tell me before sale (good to hear)). They checked brake discs and pads and cleaned everything up put everything back together and the noise is still there. They have asked me to continue using the car - they say it is safe and in two weeks if still there they will get a specialist or BMW dealer to take a look. Anyone had a similar problem or sound? I am concerned that it might be the back axle or diff - any comments (I have a three month warranty and have used letters to inform the dealer of the problems - so far he's been really reassuring)
