E90 Noise

The Badger · 13 Feb 2012 at 01:08

Hello,

I have a 2008 3 series (E90).

I get a strange noise when i turn left, sort of a humming noise, which i thought could have been a bearing or my brake disk's needed skimming.

I later discovered that the noise is only present when i have my blowers / climate control on. As soon as i turn it off, the noise vanishes.

Anyone have any ideas?

I've got a 59 330D and it makes all sorts of odd noises from the heating system when its cold out, my weird noise mostly happens during braking, whistle/howl which disappears eventually, only happens with the blowers on and never above 5C or so ambient. My 06 320D kind of did the same as well haha.

Issue with the blower motor?

It only makes a noise when turning left, could it fit?

Idea... Post the question on a BMW forum, they'll prob have a much better idea.

Or you could alway take it to the garage?
