Hi,

yesterday we went to the cinema. When the car accelerated as the traffic lights went green the engine reached about 2500 rpm. At that number of revolutions a very deep sound came from left behind. It was really deep and appeared only at approximately 2500 rpm.

Does anyone know if this is a sign of a broken exhaust? On the one hand I hope not because of the costs and on the other hand I expect a new exhaust with a nice sound

Some informations: We have a 525d and the temperature outside was 0?C and I could be wrong with 2500rpm. Could have been less.

It's normal. Part of the way they have achieved Eur 4 emision norms. The system burns off at regular intervals.

What film did you see?
