Driverside wheel clicking
Hey guys, recently noticed my 17 M2 has been making a click sound from the driverside wheel while driving, it seems its faster with speed and most noticeable with the windows down and driving near a curb for the sound to reflect (can also hear it slowly moving in my underground lot) .
I have lifted the car and spun the wheel and can't hear anything, it's only when it is on the ground and moving. Any idea what it could be? Only thing I have modded with my suspension are m performance coilovers.

Bro, I'd answer this but there are so many threads about it, even YouTube videos.
The clicking comes from at least 3 sources, and you basically have to address each one easiest first and chase your tail until you find what's causing it on your particular car. I tried a few things when my car started doing it, but nothing worked, so the clicking remains. |

What methods did you try? Maybe I'll end up just leaving it too if there is no harm.

If it gets louder when you’re going around a right curve (putting more load through the driver side wheel) then it’s probably a wheel bearing. This was how I diagnosed my wheel bearings on my old F30 335i.

I'll try that out! I always thought a wheel bearing would be a whirring noise not a clicking one

Not at all sir. Mine ONLY happens at while cornering to the right (left front wheel) and BMW said there was no chance it was a wheel bearing (20K miles at the time). They installed those little shims between the brake rotors, but it didn't help. I didn't bother taking it back, it's not an issue AFAIC.

I know a wheel bearing seems unlikely, but my F30 had them replaced at 45k miles under warranty. And I did it again at about 100k miles. Street driving only. What he is describing sounds like a wheel bearing to me.
The clicking could also be that TSB about the slipping between the wheel, rotor, hub joint. |

Weird I just tested this last night with the windows down and only in a left turn do I hear the clicking stop, straight and right turns it clicks.

I have had this issue intermittently, it was/is most noticeable during right turns at around 10mph.
When I took it to the dealership for warranty they installed the friction discs mentioned above (SIB 34 05 15), this solved the issue for a few months but it eventually came back. I took it in a second time, and they could not find anything wrong with the car and were having issues repro-ing the noise, I took the car back and cleaned the wheel/rotor interface and it helped a lot (while still not 100% solving it). I will try to clean the rotor/wheel hub interface next time I change my front rotors, but I am not too worried about it, everything looks/feel solid. From what I have been reading online the leading causes of this are: 1. Wheel-to-rotor interface (solved by cleaning both mating surfaces) 2. Rotor-to-wheel hub interface (solved by cleaning both mating surfaces and installing the friction discs) 3. Brake hose suspension bracket (solved by cleaning the bolt and re-torquing) 4. Wheel hub-to-wheel hub carrier interface (solved by cleaning both mating surfaces) HunterHofman has a good video covering some of those: Good luck! |

Gonna try the pinch bolts first since they're easy

FIXED! Follows Tommy's video and undid the pinch bolt, applied anti seize, bent the bracket a bit and re-torqued. No more clicking!
