Unhappy

last few weeks i have had a wierd whine from the back right wheel area. i thought it would be a wheel bearing but it olny happens when in gear and not excelerating. eg down hill in gear lettng engine run. and its getting fairly loud. my car has done about 50k and is a 2006 model of the 525. e60.


do you think its a wheel bearing or something else.

when i put the clutch down or out of gear the noise disapears nearly fully. very low volume when out of gear.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That sounds rather like the rear axle and/or one of the output bearings!

Don't think so. The diff oil is lifetime. It only gets replaced if the housing is opened for repairs.
