Whilst driving from 30mph upwards a rhythmic throbbing type noise can be heard. Especially noticeable on smooth road surfaces. Have had the wheel alignment checked and balanced. This made no difference.  Suspect front wheel bearings, though only 26,000 on the clock.

Certainly early for wheel bearings, Tyres? Or could be drive belts and tensioners or water pump? 

Best guess's on the info supplied 

Hope you find the culprit

      Hi Dave, thanks for that, but I see Windows 7 is no longer available to download. Do you know of anywhere I might find it?

      2016 x6 3.0d. 70k miles

      Hi Paul Welcome to the Forum BMW in their wisdom !! Moved the timing chain to the rear of the engine so it's an engine out job if there are any timing chain problems. Having said that if the car has a solid history plus any evidence of interim oil changes you should be fine. I am personally not a fan of extended service periods so my 3.0d X5 (same engine and trans) gets an oil and filter change every year regardless of miles covered (current 133k) or what the service schdule says Hope its what your looking for if it is ENJOY Dave

      Thinking of buying one of these, any problems to look out for, do they have timing chain issues, thanks
