  1. Hi guys Any advice on an e36 that's developed a droning noise which initially appeared to be front nearside but i suspect the noise is travelling down the prop. It starts at 40mph and sort of changes pitch and quietens at 70mph. The wheel bearing has been changed so has the central prop bearing. The diff oil has been changed too, any ideas before I change the diff. 😒
