I have a 2018 M2 that is fairly new to me. At very low speeds, with the wheel turned at a moderate to high degree, I'm getting a noise from the rear diff/axles. It is not the crunching noise associated with the earlier build diffs.

Instead, it is a slight whirring/rotational noise. Nothing super loud, and it could just be the lsd acting as normal. Just wondering if anyone has experienced this and has any guidance.

As a note, I mentioned this and took it to the dealer. They were unable to recreate the noise (of course) but their tech did manage to hit a piece of metal on the freeway and take out both of my left wheels and tires

Luckily, they were very apologetic and I got two new wheels, a set of tires, and an alignment for free.

It's normal. At very low speeds, even without turning it does that.

These cars makes all sorts of noises, it has a BMW badge which some associate with comfort and quiet, but I think that added M badge just throws all that out the window, as it should

Bad wheel bearing ?

I'm going to have bulletproof inspect the wheel bearings, bushings etc. Irvine BMW says that the only damage was to the wheels and tires, but I want an independent shop to verify that everything else is okay.

Noisiest I've heard coming from the back is low speed 2-3 mph at a very sharp very steep upward turn while applying power, really sounds like loose metal.in the back lol
