Sound from the front left tyre

[yoke]

Anybody experience before. It only happen recently to my E36 325. Whenever I turn left (sharp left) slow or high speed, there will be a whirring sound as if the bearing or something need greasing or what. I haven't bring it to a mechanic for a check. Just to get some opinion from you guys. Additional info, my ride is using 17 inch with 215/45 tyre and Eibach lowering spring with standard absorber.Any feedback from anyone on my problem

Are your tyres new? If yes, it could be that the edges of the tyres are rubbing against something inside the tyre well. Check it for scuff marks inside tyre well.

Friend experience problem due to tyre rubbing on anti-roll bar - offset was more than it should have been.

Thks Ichiwan, but I dont think it's the tyre, as when I straighten back after corner, the sound will be there for a while and then gone. If it's the tyre the sound will only happen during cornering right.

Had that same symptom on my E34.... but when taking right turns. Turned out to be my front wheel bearing. Got it changed and no whinning sound.

could it be the pressure hose (for the power steering)?

Agree on the pressure hose of the PS steering. Had this problem on the E46 before. You can feel the vibes for this on the steering tho. MOre like a judder instead of a whirr.
