Noise from left side of the front wheel

[atason]

Hi all,
My ride E90 320iXL 2yrs old car encounter "ziang..ziang.." sound from left side of the wheel when it was below 20km/h slow movement. It's very obvious when rolling in multistory car park.
PML took 2 days still unable to isolate the sound . They need few days to rectify this. What should i do and any one here encounter same problem.

Thanks.

Today i noticed the sound getting clearer and it's seem like coming from left side of the rear wheel. Last friday PML removed left side front brake pad, can't find any problem. :errr: ?????

huh?! if the sound is coming from the left rear wheel, why did PML check the left front brake pad?

try looking at the deflector / shield. this is the thin flat piece of metal that is located behind the rotors.

sometimes it gets slightly bent and makes contact with the rotors. hence the sound.

I had queaky noises too, which went away after I changed by brake rotors.

sounds like a pebble stuck between rotors and caliper, but then PML did full check ... so ... dunno.

My thinking same as you. Thanks for your adviced.
PML claim that they need more time to rectify this issue and book me another day to visit them again. :verysad:

Thanks for your info. I'm doubt they do a full check .
Think to send my car for outside workshop like BVO to check. Any advice?
