Great video, my mechanic told me the subframe issue depends on what type of transmission because of the amount of torque being sent to the rear when I asked him about my GM 5L 325i rear frame. He said the manual E46 and SMG M3 are the main suspects for the issue. He had a 323i in white where the frame had a huge crack on the driver side from the amounts of hard shifting and torque being sent to the diff in the high rpms...

I wish I had put together a final video of thoughts. The "problem" that I exposed in this video series... I believe stems from the three spot welds that fail within the structure. There are three spot welds that hold the Bracket (the one you see pulling out of underneath portion of the car) to the inner structure. The initial failure is those welds. You cannot see them. They are internal. But I would imagine when they fail, the sound would start. In my case, not only did the spot weld fail, but the extra stress also allow the bracket to pull through the bottom plate. I would hope no one would allow this to get as far as we did. It caused extra damage. Cheers!

Major rear end overhaul. You did a good job. I can take the mechanical part, but I am too green on the welding piece. I hear a clunk on mine but is when I release the brake. Any suggestions? I just got the car 3 weeks ago and have only driven it to work once. I did a complete cooling system overhaul since it had an annoying leak and will drive it to work next week. I suspect the front end needs new control arm bushings since I can move the front tires a little. But the sound comes from the rear.
@UCanDoIt2Mike8 жыл бұрын
I just recently posted a front control arm bushing replacement video. That is an easy fix. And a common problem. That fix really improved the drive of the car. As far as the noise from the rear... The thumping that I was experiencing was a result of the 3 spot weld failures (noted in the second half of Part 3 of this series). This failure is a result of stress from the torque placed on the Subframe. Due to direction, it will fail on the left rear side first. Releasing the brake is a different stress. Since it sounds like it is a repeatable issue, can you mount a camera or walk along side the car to help identify the location of the sound. Could be Brakes or Differential, hard to tell from the brief description. My next project for this car is a Thermostat and Water Pump. Good luck with yours!

Ultimately, BMW had a flaw in the design of where the Rear Subframe (a bowed frame that held the rear diff) was mounted to the chassis. There are three little spot welds that support this area (very weak). Ours failed from ordinary driving, like so many other owners cars. The problem was exaggerated when my son was teaching a friend to drive a manual car. The friend popped the clutch a little fast and it tore out the mount. If you are able to reproduce the sound at will, you might consider mounting a camera back there to look for movement or other signs. Cheers!

I believe it can. The first thing that is going to break is the 3 spot welds that I show inside the trunk. Those welds are not visible without removing metal. Once those welds break, they then flex ( and in my case, break) the bottom sheet metal. If yours does it simply by shifting from reverse to drive. Have someone stand next to the car and see if they can identify where the sound is coming from.

Hey! Thanks for the video. This was interesting to watch and informative. Please read my issue and see if you can assist with diagnosis.... I'm having issues with what seems to be my transmission banging in the first two gears. It also does it when I put the car in drive or reverse from the Park position. Car seems smooth once I'm up to speed and driving. The "bang" that I'm hearing makes me feel that I've been rear ended from behind. Also, I feel like the transmission isn't secure. Almost like its loose. Hope this helps. I need HELP with this If I accelerate and then take my foot off the gas, I then too feel the "bang" sensation. It's annoying and I know it can be fixed, just don't know what to do. HELP PLEASE. Tranny has been totally rebuilt but I still get the "banging" sensation when taking my foot off the accelerator. Any information would be helpful.
@UCanDoIt2Mike8 жыл бұрын
This maybe too difficult for me to solve without seeing it. But like any diagnosis, your approach needs to start with 1) Divide and Conquer. Use a camera and or someone sitting in the back seat to help identify the location of the noise. Is it the Transmission, or something around the Rear-end? Maybe like I did, you could lift the vehicle and video what's going on under the car. BE VERY CAREFUL IF YOU TRY THIS!!!! My initial Thumping was directly due to the failure of 3 spot welds that are completely hidden from view (See: my video Clunk Part 3 @ 14:38). This failure ultimately resulted in more damage and additional chassis failure. The noise (Thump) that I was hearing was the "Tin Can" effect of the chassis metal flexing (and ultimately failing). I have another viewer that has a clunk sound and his turned out to be internal Differential gear issues. It sounds like you have an automatic transmission. If the sound can easily be repeated by changing from Park to Drive, have someone do that while you maneuver around the car sourcing the sound (BE CAREFUL!!!!)
