Squeaking Noise in idle rpms

schmidi90 · 03-09-2012, 02:19 PM

Hello,

i got a 2011 135i that was built 05/2010
right now i have about 25000 on the odo.
it is a 6 speed manual.

Following Situation:
I have it no gear and hit the accelerator slightly towards 2000 rpm,
when the rpms go down towards idle i get this squeaking, i can't tell where it is coming from. it doesnt sound healthy.

i drove the car to the dealership, the told me this is normal.

But i can't believe this. squeaking is in my opinion not normal

i found this vid, from a 335i and the noise is the same

Has someone had this also?

Thanks

a few months ago I took my car in for service for maintenance then my service adviser called the next day and said his mechanic heard "ticking" noise from the engine at idle, so he replaced "lifters" for me.
I, myself, did not hear the "ticking" noise so I can't compare that noise to your "squeaking" noise but I have a feeling the problems are related.
Can someone confirm or deny if that is the lifter noise?
p.s. I would NOT take "this is normal" as an answer. Press the issue with service adviser then the manager, and if they still refuse, contact BMW of North America.

hope im not too late but... i had same noise... It was fixed by dealer under warrenty "Rear crankshaft oil seal" All fixed now and no more damn squeaking!!

Go to a different dealer if they are not going to help fix this ANNOYING sound.

I was always so embarrased to drive around when my car was making this sound... Some days it would be fine, then some days it would not shut up!!
