noise under bmw z3 1.9

Sounds flimsy.
Check heat shields and brake disk dust covers first.
 
Try pulling the parking brake on just a couple of clicks as you drive to put tension into the cables and see if it goes away.

Probably the brake disk dust covers then. They tend to rot away
 
Did you try pulling the brake on a couple of clicks or not? The rattle is from inside the rear hub, if that's what is causing it.

Tony.
 
yes i go under the car the cable was loose,,,,then i put it back to the clips that hold it ,,,after that i drive the car but still noise
 
But, did you pull the lever up a couple (2) clicks as you were driving? Simple question. Yes or no.

Tony.
 
Ok i will try to do it,,,you mean when start the noise , continue driving then pull the hand break to level 2 to see if the noise stop......boss if the noise stop , what to do?
 
Well then try it. If it doesn't work I will try to think of something else it could be. IF it stops the noise I will tell you what to do, if it doesn't I will try to think of something else it could be Mike.

i find the noise,,,its the break pads in the rear wheel , it was loose,,,cost me 5$ labor, the mechanic fabric iron clips on both side of the pads

Yep! Just as I thought.

Tony.
 
Yep! Just as I thought.

I thought from your "The rattle is from inside the rear hub" comment and your advice to tension the handbrake cable, that it was going to be a handbrake issue!
 
Read the post properly then.

IF it stops the noise I will tell you what to do, if it doesn't I will try to think of something else it could be Mike.

He never asked what to do, did he?

Tony.
 
its already 2 months i have noise under the car,,,i change muffler , change all bousing ,,,remove break cover from shocks ,put back the hand break cabel back to is clips ,,,,,tied the heat shield,,,noting solve the problem,,until i saw in you tube a guy punch the wheel with rubber hummer , to find the noise,,so i find it,,in the rear driver side ,,the 2 pad where loose ,,,,the mechanic add me iron metal in both side ,,and no more noise,,lucky i live in philippines,,,cost me 5$ us,,, it took 1 hr, cause the mechanic did not have 7 elan to open the break, only 6 and 8 ,,,so i had to go my house to bring 7 elan ,,,,
