Hello
I've a strange one.
My E32 735 has developed a clicking noise from gearbox/rear engine on light acceleration from standing or when stationary on a steep incline. It does not seem to make the noise On harder acceleration. It sounds a bit like a piece of plastic in the spokes of a bike.
It has been with me a few months and I’m getting a bit frustrated with it.
At first I thought it was to do with the driveshaft centre bearing which was worn and noisy also. I had the centre bearing replaced but the clicking noise continued. Also my mechanic replaced the sump gasket recently and did not see anything.
The other day I realised that it also occurred when stationary on a steep incline. I was parked on a steep driveway and wound the window down and there it was though I was stationary. Mmm.
My mechanic has checked it over and can’t find anything so far. (He calls it a fluffy sound vs my click sound).
He says he thinks it may be something touching the flywheel.
Anybody got any ideas to help us?
Cheers
Tom
