hi all sifus,my e46 keep on having a funny sound at front left under below situation:1. when start engine in the early morning, i will hear some sound like something is scrubbing. Once i let the car to warm up for about 10-15 minutes, the sound is getting less2. whenever i turn left a little more, there will be some sound. If the car is not warmed up and I turn left, the sound is obvious3. when doing a right U turn , the sound can be heard as wellAnyone came across this before and what could be the potential cause before I bring to any workshop?

Not sure thou never experience this before. Probably you can describe in details.
Any symptom of leakage? Check out at mechanic around your corner.

qudernkl,

I have the same problem. It sounds like the tyre is rubbing against something plastic. But mine comes and goes. Sometime it get pretty loud too.

Do let me know if you have rectified the problem and which mechanic helped you.

Cheers.

My last post told you all that I have the same noise problems stated in this thread.

I discussed it with my mechanic and he told me it was the brake disk cover is warped and use a screw-drive to bend it back to shape.

Walla!! The sound is now gone!
