Re: Help! Whistling noise from E90
Not too sure about the how the E90 works but in my case, whenever I send my car in earlier to PML for the oil change, they would just reset the meter again. If you're thinking of doing an oil change in-between at a workshop outside, there's no need to reset the meter. Just let it run till you bring your car back to PML for the next oil change.waynechai said:
Re: Help! Whistling noise from E90
Very good idea.
It may even reduct the whistling sound perhaps? Or other sound.
In fact, the tyre noise irks me at times, and I was told by my friend that it is really the problem of the run-flat tyre.
Anybody feel the same way abt the tyre noise?
Any way to reduce?
P.S. I will start a thread abt under bonnet insulator in this same forum (dont know which is best forum for this)

Re: Help! Whistling noise from E90
Guys, looks like more E90 owners joined the forum as more problems are reported. I drive the E90 320i since Jul and have been reading this as well as other forums. Some of the hear-say I read summarized below. Might not be 100% accurate and I am no BMW guru - just another guy who loves his car and expects it to be perfect.
1. Whistling noise - several forums discussed this issue and many says that its the valvetronic at work.
2. Rattling noise at B pillar - BMW reelase a service note to all its agent to fix this know problems. PML should know how to fix it.
3. For those early adoptors of E90 whose doors does not lock when you drive off, go ask PML to schedule you for an software update. The software upgrade also allows you to unlock only the driver door on 1st click and all doors on second. Newer shipments should not have this problem. Got mine fixed already, a 4 hours process. Don't wait.
4. Noisy tire and bumpy ride - yes its the run flat tire, but also do check your tire pressure. Want a softer ride, throw (or give them to me as spares) away the run-flats. I plan to change mine after 18 months.
5. engine sounds like diesel taxi and sound will go away after run-in, don't bet on it. my ride already done 11k and it still sound like the taxi. luckily it quite well insulated inside.
6. what bothers me the most - wind noise on driver and front passenger windows noticed after 100-110 kmph. noise level annoying even with the radio ON. anyone else got this problems. Unable to fix at PML after several attempts.
Hope the above helps. E90 guys should stand together. If the kopi meetup is not realized, hope to see you guys and gals at the month end meetup. Let's see who has the taxi that makes the most noise. cheers.
