Odd Sound

derric · 01-14-2011, 12:14 AM

It seems like when my car is cold it makes a "psshh" sound when it changes gears the sounds seems to go away really quickly and I bet it's part warming up but wondering it anyone else hears this. It sounds somewhat like a blow-off valve (not the whilstle-ish ones lol)

mine makes a noise too, it's like a high pitched whining noise

Probably your BOV...you have a 2013 M3 right?

NO this is a 09. I only mention a BOV as a point of reference to the sound...My guess is it's some sort of air pocket related item when the motor starts up..

what you're exactly describing derric is the same thing that my M does. i've never thought anything of it. i just assume it's normal.
