New BMW 530i Noises And Vibration Q. Hello! I have owned a 2004 BMW 530i for three months. During the first 30 days I began to hear noises in the rear part of the car while in motion. You can hear three different constant noises in the back of my car while the car is moving at any speed. One of them is like a drop of water, the second is like when you crumble a piece of paper and the third is kind of a spring like sound.

This is my first BMW. One BMW owner told me that noises are normal of BMW's. Are these type of noises normal? In addition, the car has a small, but annoying vibration that can be felt in the steering wheel and gas pedal.

Thanks,
Olga

A. Olga, take it back to the Dealer. Without hearing the actual noises I can't tell you if they are normal or not. And tell them about the vibration. It could be something as simple as a wheel out of balance or a sign of something worse.

In any event, the Dealer will do any repairs needed to get rid of the noises and vibration.
