BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo - Howling noises

If the above-mentioned problem is detected, a possible cause may be too large a gap at the transition between the front and central underbody cover.

 

Remedy:

  • First remove the central underbody protection cover.
  • Thoroughly clean the area marked in the picture and fit the foam pad OE No. 16111181918 according to the vehicle manufacturer's instructions.
  • Refit the central underbody protection cover. 

 

Finally a test drive should be performed in order to run checks on the repair work.

Please note
