Maybe, but the % change is actually pretty small. -
So the X5 has recently started making a whirring noise in the front. Volume of the noise is related to road speed, not revs. We just discovered today that it goes away when going up a hill and is back when on the flat or going down a hill. That makes me think it could be bearings as there would be less weight on the front when climbing. Does that sound sane? We will take it in for an opinion from my BMW guy on Thursday but in the meantime just trying to work it out. We did try to load up each front side at 70ish kph by doing a bit of a slalom. I did hear that you can isolate each wheel this way but we heard no difference from each side. I'm just hoping its the bearings and not the front diff or something else. Not after what I just spent on the E90! -
I do - but have better results with the pressure bleeder. I could try the vac bleeder and see if it gets any other bubbles out. Will see if i can find it.....got relegated a while ago!! -
Yep - i went from furthest away to closest to MC - both sides of each caliper - then came back and did it again to make sure.

Good plan. I will do that for sure. havent actually checked to see that all things are happening as they should on each side of the caliper! And yes, i agree, it seems super odd that a caliper can be so bendy. Im just struggling to find an alterante explanation.
