Guy's,
I am hoping someone can help me. I have a 520d which is mt first foray into BMW diesel engines and I have a couple of questions that will probably be answered by our western european members as these seem to be the regions these models seem to sell well in.
My car is just over a year and I now have 25k miles on the clock. These have been completely trouble free but now I find that 1) when I put my car in reverse the car seems to shake and become very noisy, even when I put it into drive it is shivery for a little while then vanishes and drives as normal. This is usually after I hae driven 80 miles of my usual 200 miles journey home. 2) I tend to drive fast around the 90mph as my 200 mile journey to work is all motorway and i seem to here a noise from the front left wheel area. Have brought it to BMW and they have said they cant find anything? Ant ideas. 3) I see people keep on mentioning these flaps in the engine that seem to be problematic can anyone tell me what they are and why they can be a problem?
Thanks
Grinche

hello. I have the same car with 150000km done. What do you mean by saying flaps in the engine?
