Hi. I've noticed a rather odd sound coming from the rear of my car, a 2001 M3 Coupe. It sort of sounds like "whooooph-whooooph". It's a low frequency sound and is usually heard while making low-speed left turns. Has anyone heard this as well?
It's the diff and is "normal" behaviour. BMW can sell you some "enhanced" oil to try to resolve the problem.

Hard to go on a text version of a sound, but could it be a wheel bearing?
Dodgy.
On an e36 I had a sound that I woud describe the same way, turned out to be one of the rims was slightly out of round, so when turning it enhanced the pressure on the "oblong" wheel and made the defect more noticable.
Thanks!
It's your checkbook!
No - that's a GIANT sucking sound..
so true!!! :)
My gut instinct is that you have a wheel bearing going out.
I'd put money on it being the diff. Skip over to
