A couple of days ago as I was slowly driving out of my garage while my front drivers window was opened, I noticed a very unusual clicking noise coming from my front left wheel as I drove out. It seemed to get louder as I would slow down before a complete stop at a light or a stop sign right before fainting away. I took it to my local dealer at Irvine BMW yesterday, and they had me leave it with them to investigate the noise as well as it seems I had a few needed software updates that needed to be installed.
I just got a call from my service advisor today, that they were able to replicate the noise and determine that I needed an axle replacement! Kind of weird to experience this kind of an issue only about 4000 miles in on a brand new car. They also mentioned that because of how new the car is, the part has to be ordered from Germany and it would take about 7-10 days to arrive.
I don't know if this is a common issue or just an one off situation, but I highly recommended checking to see if you hear a clicking noise from your wheels while driving with your windows down to see if you experience the same clicking noise while driving.
