I had already posted this in http://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...2#post21215082, but since it's buried in some few hundred posts, I thought I would repost it here for all to see below.

------------------
So got my baby back with the new shields installed. Attached are pics of the old/new shields together with the workorder outlining the problem, solution, and part numbers.

Hope you all can approach your service advisor with the info and get the problem rectified.

Successful or not, be sure to share your experience here for all.

Hjk, you are the man. Thank you for sharing this.

Thanks.

Would be interesting to see a copy of the quoted PuMA # 61199185-05.

Awesome. Hopefully this is the cure!

Edit: Hjk please keep us informed as to the noise or lack thereof.

I am curious what year and build date your car is. That might help determine who has the old design an who has the new. I have had this a fair number of times so I am guessing I have the old style. My car was a September 13 build date, a 2017 model.

For those who think this issue is a Diff problem watch this video.

My car is MY16, built April. Now with around 5300km on it. We had snow here earlier this month. That's when the city dumped loads of sand on streets causing the crunch and making the screeching sounds. One day, I drove around town with the screeching sound. It was very embarrassing.

Looks like there has been a service bulletin on these parts and other owners should specify the indicated measure above... doesn't seem to be very much to see other than to replace the two older parts with the two new parts.

[Doji desu]

Parts are in stock for mine. Just need to get time to drop the car off. Hopefully some positive reports about the effectiveness of the new plates in the meantime.

[DETRoadster]

Awesome! Thank you for posting this info. Scheduling my replacement shields today!

I hear this noise multiple times a day now. Really annoying. Is this a free fix if I ask for it?

My bmw service department claimed they had to have a tech hear it on my vehicle for them to order the part and fix it even though I have 2 videos of it happening on my car. Said was BMW policy to save money. I'll keep annoying them about it I guess.......... seems ridiculous to me.

Not sure if most dealers/service will just fix it if you ask or if they have to hear it themselves. I have a feeling if I keep complaining a tech will "hear it" and they will fix it.

I'm so mad right now thinking about this actually......... Why do I feel like this is going to take hours and days of pestering them when they could just cut straight to them fixing a problem that sounds like the car is dragging its exhaust on the ground? They say they want to save money so their policy is the tech has to hear it happen, but what about the money they lose when future potential customers hear the sound and BMW being stubborn about fixing a problem? It's just nonsense!

Just keep asking! There is a moment they will listen

Are there any pictures of the revised shields?
Curious to know if they have just put a notch at the 6o'clock position to allow rocks to fall back out.

Thanks.
So they have made the slots tighter to try and keep rocks from entering in the first place?
