1) the total volume was less than it should be, I don't remember exactly, but like less for 300 grams in X5 2) it was much worse than mine, I compared both, mine was without metal things, X5's was with them. X5 owner didn't complain on any noise I also changed the oil twice with different viscosity, absolutely no difference. |

I'm not sure, but as we are discussing about front diff, the noise seems to also impact RWD cars (need to check in the thread) ==> that would unlink the source of noise and the front diff. Next tests I'll do : - check (again) front wishbones and tension strut for play - maybe put some balancing masses on the brake dust shield to see if this might be the part resonating ==> it would affect the frequency of the noise if linked. |

Just bought a 2020 330i M Sport and realised it is making the noise described here.
I read that the strut braces fitted to M Sports help transmit the sound to the cabin. Has anyone tried removing the brace permanently ? They aren't fitted to none M Sport models so I assume its safe, you'd just lose some handling ? |

I finally had time to look a bit more to my car after my holliday. Switched back to summer tires (Michelin Pilot super sport 225 -255) and changed my wheels for 18" M662 (8"front 9"rear). I've added some weight to the brake dust shield in the process (adhesive wheel balance blocks). I also tried to clean them as much as possible. I don't really know what is responsible of the improvement but the noise is really much less noticeable or changed frequency (lower) !!! I have read in another thread about vibration affecting the G30-31 5 series linked with hub/brake disc/wheel assembly going slightly out of balance. ==> as we are based on the same platform, it might be linked with brake component resonating. I'll try one of their "easiest" solution which is perfectly centering the wheel on the hub and adding friction rings between the disc and the wheel (34 10 6 884 839) |

Also tried jacking rear wheels up and put it in drive up to 40mph, didn't make the noise so I think that eliminates the gearbox, drive shaft bearings and rear diff. New front wheel bearings next week, will report back. |

I installed the friction rings from BMW. I took the opportunity to thoroughly clean (with sandpaper) the contact surfaces from hub/disc and wheels. I used the alignement tool from BMW in order to perfectly center the wheel while tightening the bolts (using first my impact driver in the lowest torque setting while the car is lifted before setting the bolts to the recommended 140NM with torque wrench when on the floor) I have also replaced some other parts that were a bit worn : - Cover, wheelhousing, rear, front right 51717340928 (took the opportunity to replace some plastic expanding rivet and bolt that were missing in the process - I also inserted some insulation foam above this trim, in the fender and around the windshield wiper fluid filling hose) - hood sealing : Sealing side panel right 51767419386 Maybe this is a placebo effect - but I can't notice any annoying humming anymore. Can't say for sure what is responsible of the improvement : - parts replaced (see above) - new wider rims from G30 5 series (M662) - cleaning the brake dust shield (and probably bending them in the process ) - increasing the weight of the brake dust shield via balancing masses - perfect cleaning/alignement/tightening of the wheels Maybe it is just the high rolling noise of the michelin pilot super sport covering everthing else ... I'll follow this closely (small remarks regarding the location of the noise for me (LHD car) : it was coming from the right - passenger side) |

Some update
Removing brake dust shields didn’t a change a thing. Mounting 34 10 6 884 839 didn’t change anything as well I am thinking what to do next. Anyway M340ix.be did a great job |

Anyway this helps also to put aside some of my solutions being valid to eliminate that noise. I ordered spacers (15mm allround) for my new wheels. I plan to install them this Saturday. I'll check if the noise come back or not with them. |

as I remember you do some vibro and sound isolation as well, but it didnt help so above that also some foam right? |

When I did it in the rear of the wheelarches, it didn't change much indeed. Unfortunatelly I didn't took any picture of it. But it was quite a lot of foam. The reason I did this foam addition is that I noticed you have the OEM front wing insulation at that exact spot (part 3 of picture below). As you can notice, this is really cheap part that goes around the washer fluid filler hose ==> probably moved a lot when you removed the wheelarche trim. The amount of foam inserted was enough to secure the original piece into place and fill the entire empty space above the hose. |
