Couple of noises: deceleration & suspension

< N I C K > · 3rd January 2007, 00:41

Happy New Year to all. One of my New Year's resolutions is to sort out a couple of noises. I've booked my 75 in the BMW garage tomorrow, but thought I'd get a first opinion from some of the knowledgeable folks on this forum.

1. When I blip the accelerator to over 3000rpm & let the revs fall I can hear a popping sound. I suspect it maybe related to the exhaust system.

2. About three months ago my left front wheel almost came off due mysteriously to lose bolts.
Since then the tyre wear has become uneven & there is a clang sound over pot holes & certain bumps.

I've asked for a wheel alignment & to sort out what making the sounds.
