Hi Guys,

I have problem with my 535d 06'. When cruising above 60 km/h there are some strange noises from the rear axle something like buzzing or huming. I've visited my dealer told me that Run Flats may be the problem today I've changed to Michelin's PS2 non RFT, ride quality is way better but the strange noises didn't disapper. What might be the problem? Bearing? Any common problems with rear axel in e61?

Cheers

Exhaust? Or more specifically the valve in the rear box (silencer) may be loose and resonating.

Does it matter what gear you're in?
