I'm all for the rocks in the dust shield theory but there's something else going on here as well. it was like something in the diff (clutch pack maybe?) locked up for a moment. it was really jarring. |

My car made this noise too almost every drive, so I took the rear wheels off and simply bent the dust shields a little away from the rotors to make more clearance. Haven't had the noise happen again since. Problem solved.

I just tried that tonight. Went for about a 4 mile drive on some pretty messy roads with some loose gravel. So far so good. No noise yet.

Ok, so i've been following this thread for a while. I recently took delivery of my MY17 early December. Having completed around 3000 miles I had this 'issue' for the first time last night.
The sound I heard was coming from the rear right & sounded exactly like a stone grinding on the brake disc. So I put the car on the ramp and took the rear right wheel off. Interestingly there where no stones between the backing plate and rear of the disc and no signs of scoring on the disc. What I did find was a small peddle sitting on top of the calliper in front of the brake pad rubbing on the thick side of the disc. I used a small set of long nose tweezers to remove it, put the wheel back on and the noise was gone I'm not saying this is the issue you are all hearing but just what I found. Also, while looking for the source of the grinding I noticed there is a small gap, about 3-6mm between the top of the rear hub assembly and the top of the brake backing plate that had a bunch of very fine gravel lodged in it. There where signs of crushed gravel...... You'd think that given both these faces move in parallel with the control arms (the gap does not open & close) that it shouldn't be able to crush the stones but perhaps something for others to keep an eye on? |

With the snow and ice now gone, the streets were left with gravel and rain. This has amplified the soda can noise as well as the screeching noise on the car. The screeching got so bad (and embarrassing) I finally took the car into Service. They took both calipers off to clean around them but the problem returned shortly. I was told by the SA that they've ordered an improved dust shield coming from Germany. In the meantime, I just endure and keep my head low. No info on the "improved" dust shield or the part number. |

I can reproduce the can crush sound on inclines pretty regularly. MY17 DCT about 700 miles on it. Don't notice the car feeling unsettled when it happens, just the horrible noise. Seems to happen only in Sport + mode I think....
Two video I took tonight of the sound, one going uphill, one going downhill. Sorry for the camera work I was just trying to get the sound. On the downhill looks like I was in 2nd and took my foot off the gas before it happened. |

Mine will rarely do multiple screeches, mostly just once then stop, i don't want to jinx it but mine does seem to be happening a lot less frequently. Thanks for posting the vids. Last edited by Prodigy.; 01-24-2017 at 07:14 AM.. |

I feel for people with these issues with brand new cars (700 miles). Is this soda can crunch noise a deal breaker? Would you still buy this car if you knew of this issue?

Just wanted to add to the experiences everyone has been detailing. I had the noise for the first time today going up a small incline going about 25mph. The sound is a pretty unnerving metal on metal scraping sound coming from driver Side rear wheel-ish. MY2017 with about 950 miles

This evening I heard the sound just as I was braking to a halt. As I moved away in reverse (to get in to a parking spot) I got the same noise which makes me think even more that this is just stones, not the diff.

I just collected my m2. And 2nd day already have this noise.
Its the same exact noise as the video posted so guys, it Cannot be stone stuck in rotor shield. Told my dealer who handles all M cars in asia but they have no idea. This is nit going to stop me from raping the car. Great car. Just the noise is bloody embarassing. |

This sounds totally like something touching the shield. The shield makes the exact same noise when you touch it with a screw driver. Try this again and put your GoPro under the car so that we can pinpoint where the noise comes from... Perhaps someone can attached it somewhere to a part of the suspension and then we know it for sure. I have not had the noise for months now, but my car is hardly driving. If you can reproduce it then try to fix a camera lower underneath the car and film it. MR |
