2011 535i Buzzing Sound *Video*

andrew1182 · 10-21-2015, 05:16 PM

I picked up a 2011 BMW 535 with 23,000 miles about 6 months ago. I've driven it about 10,000 miles and have noticed a relatively consistent noise after the car warms up that is driving me nuts. I've done some research and it led me to have the wastegate control solenoid replaced today. The noise persisted. Input would be greatly appreciated before I throw more money at it.

Man! Tough crowd today. Any input?

Sounds like bad turbo pressure converter.

I have the same sound going on. From what I gather on the forums its what MSD1 said.. Turbo Pressure Converter.

I will confirm with you after I take my car to the dealer next week.
