I took delivery of my M2 back in September and haven't heard any noises yet.. Does anyone know if this happening on both the DCT and Manual? I have the manual. I did put it away for the winter so I'll have to see in the spring. My advice is to drive it like you stole it. Since the car is brand new and under warranted I would seriously drive the car hard to the point something breaks or falls out the rear end.. then BMW will have no choice but to replace drive-train.

I have, they laughed at me at first, then said to keep it with them to drive extensively for about 100 miles and try to replicate the noise. I said no way, I'll drive it until it breaks then tow it in for repairs.

For the sake of argument... If you want to know if your diff works correctly do a massive burnout. If you leave 11 on the road it works. If you leave a 1 only on one side then the diff is bad.
Obviously do this on a dry day on flat tarmac and where safe to do so! |

There is no problem with the diff. Diffs that are electronically engaged like the M diff or locked are going to make some noise. Go to any forum for any car that has a diff like this and you will see posts from nervous new owners wondering if their car is broken because they don't understand how their car works. Stop the panic. These noises are either rocks in the brake areas (i have had that 3 times in 7,000 miles) or the rear diff doing its thing as it should. Noises like these and occasionally squeaky brakes or exhaust noise are what comes with a performance car.

I have to say that this noise do not appear at higher temperatures (+5°C) as much as on some degrees below 0 (-10°C).
So it really seems to be quite normal. |

I have the diff clunk. It certainly is not a soda can noise or other nonsense.
When I go from reverse to drive I hear a clunk, and I also sometimes can hear the clunk when DCT engages/disengages while coasting. The difference with me is that I don't recall hearing it so pronounced before my break-in service. The sound does resemble a slightly less annoying version of the noise I had on my old MINI JCW with OS Giken limited slip diff. That made more of a clack sound. But under the same circumstances. |

I love the people who insist it's rocks between the heat shield and rotor. Everytime something goes wrong with an M diff which is more common than you'd think, forum guys blame rocks. Obviously this is not rocks just like it wasn't with E9x M3 diff issues.
Now if it's a clunk, that's another story. That's totally normal and has been that way since E46 M3.

I have a 01/17 M2PE MT. On cold start up it feels like something is going to rattle off the car. Once warm its gone... I have not noticed any diff issues on driving.

Many of us here are not talking about the soda can shit. Ive had my my17 M2 for 13900km, and, NEVER has the "clunk-sound" been this noisy. And only in low rpm, first and second gear. It sounds like something is lose or broken in the back. Def not a normal sound. It sounds awful and is very noisy.
Had a quick check at a dealer, they said it might be the diff. |

Just had the LSD replaced in my friends M4, same noises described, here. It's a '16 model and he's now trading it in for a Merc (boourns).
With these E-LSD's they seem work a bit different than what I've been used to. From having the M4 on the hoist (same LSD?), it's like an "open diff" from what I experienced. Because you spin the rear wheel one way and the opposing side spins the other? Then on the road once the car "senses" the loss of grip, it then engages the clutches inside the LSD to give you better traction to the wheel that has the most available grip, is this correct? It drives this way, for sure, from experience. The car gets a high amount of power oversteer and I think it's thanks to the LSD's characteristics, which is fine and all, just different. I almost wonder if anyone would change out the LSD in the future, for heavy track use, etc? Not sure it would be worth it, but curiosity has me wondering about the long term durability of the electronic unit, versus a mechanical LSD which lasts and lasts.. |

My '17 makes a clicking sound when the wheel is turned, left and right. Appears to be from the rear. Speed only changes the speed of clicks. Zero clicks while the wheel is straight.
Anyone have similar? Nothing like the soda can crunch. |

My car makes a clicking noise in the right rear whenever. Can really only hear it slow.

After I installed my coil overs on the M4 I developed that similar noise, came and went but mainly in hard slow driveway turns. For the life of me i couldn't figure it out and the dealer didn't do anything cuz I modified the car with aftermarket parts. Well one day I have it off the ground and wheels off trying to figure out the diff clunk I was hearing and when I was rotating the axles I heard the sound! Spent the better part of a whole day trying to figure it out and what I think it was is when I put the coil overs in I leaned on the rotor shield too much and it slightly deformed it. I flexes a lot, tweak it in one area and it makes noise in another...damn pain in the ass. So I picked around with it forever but found a happy spot and never heard the sound again......till I wrecked it. I think it is real close in where it fits near the hub and any changes in the load on areas causes it to tweek and touch. Either way it does not hurt anything just is very annoying. This is different yet the same as the rocks in the shield except is sounds kinda the same just at a lower tone but it is so close that is why little pebbles get caught in there. You might have something in that space and it only screams under side loading Just my experience...... Remember the harder you run her the less your going to have time to pick at the small issues Oh....where's that guy with the thousand dollars Last edited by horsepower_and_hounds; 10-15-2017 at 08:25 AM.. |

Rear Diff failure
My car is a May 2016 OG M2, a few months ago I noticed rear diff fluid leak, brought it in and had the seals replaced. Few months later, very loud whining noise, brought it in again. Diff fluid was speckled with white bits and entire diff needed replacement. Thinking back, there was noise on going round a bend from the rear that was not the 'soda crunch noise'. My car is outside the 5 year warranty and it is an expensive repair. Sigh. BMW=brings more worry
