2013 BMW X3 F25 grinding noise from under the car.

Hi everyone I wanted to drive home the importance of finding a good shop to take your BMW to. This client called us thinking she needed brakes because there was a grinding noise from under the car. Check out what we found.
Don't always assume what the car needs until you have it professionally inspection. At Bimmer PhD we communicate with our clients via photos & videos to build trust & transparency.

Rule # 1: There must be no oil leaks underneath the car! If there are "small" leaks, keep a firm eye on them. They will not disappear by themselves! Be quite sure you know where the oil comes from!
By the way a good, short video that shows that the owner has to keep an eye on the whole of his car, if he/she wants it to last a little longer.

I have a problem with a humming noise in the car, I had the bridge checked, the parts were damaged, the shaft was also loose, the front bearings were also refurbished, it didn't help, maybe the xdrive was damaged, could it make humming noises?

I have the same humming/buzzing sounds coming from my engine. I believe it's the boost solenoid. Common with the N54. Mines an N55. Rare, but they can fail. Having it diagnosed next week. Fortunately, it's a $100 piece from FCP Euro and an easy DIY from what I've seen on TH-cam. Hope it helps

Its Possible. Noises are difficult to isolate. A special NVH amplification tool is need to pin point. Don't hesitate to call us for a consultation.
