Clicking noise from rear
I have a clicking noise coming from the rear of the car everytime I step on the accelerator while being in D or R transmission. I seen a few posts about it but I never seen a concrete resolution to the problem. Anyone that knows please chime in I would appreciate it very much. I am bringing it to the dealer but I can already sense they are trying to tell me it’s normal noise for an M car. Car is a 2022 BMW X3m Comp around 12,000 miles on the clock.

There are alot of threads about this.... I have it too on mine. The quick answer is that there is a service bulletin for the same drivetrain on other models, and the fix is locktite on the drive shaft i believe. the X3M is not listed on the models affected, so some have had issues getting the dealership to do it.
Do a search to check out the other threads on the issue, good luck!

Thanks. I have see the bulletin somewhere in a post but it’s no longer available when clicked. I regret not taking a picture of it prior. Maybe someone on here can provide it again? I sat down with the SA and they kept on looking in their computer system for anything related to such sound and nothing. Some people say it’s adding that BMW locktite and some say it’s some differential bolt. Anyone else possibly knows further please chime in. I hate the sounds and I can’t believe that it could be normal operation.

Car is at the dealership. I am getting the usual speach like everything is fine with your car this noise is normal. Anyone can help get more info on this issue? Just so I can prove to the dealer other people have this issue and it’s getting resolved at certain dealerships.

Rest assured, they fix it. I gave them the bulletin number and they got it all taken care of last winter. No issues since. Some of these bums (techs) think a cliking noise on an $80k car is normal. They should be out of their jobs. |

The dealer is giving me such a hard time. Since the X3M is not in that bulletin they don’t seem interested in doing the repairs. I might have to call corporate. These people are nuts I don’t know why they are so crappy. This whole warranty is nonsense because they don’t want to do any work. |

Keep escalating until they get off their lazy ass and get it taken care of. Countless members used the above bulletin to fix this annoying issue. I’m surprised the bmw techs haven’t requested the bulletin to be updated to include the X3M/X4M to the list. Just shows how lazy some of these people are. |

Well finnaly after going back and forth multiple arguments they ended up fixing it. They used the info in the bulletin and it worked. Super happy about that but the service from these service centers is horrible nowadays. I can only speak on my experience but this warranty is bullshit. The amount of time and headaches I spent to get this fixed I could of easily paid someone else to do it and save the stress. The people at the service center were acting like they are doing me a favor for addressing and fixing my car that’s nuts.
