This is the closest thread I can find to my problem and that is why I am posting here. Possible driveshaft or differential Issue 2001 E39 528i - 68000 KM Mileage Lately I have been hearing Clank-ing sound from the rear of the car when I engage the auto gearbox to D or R. There is no sound when I move it to P or N. The sound is clanking 3 times in succession everytime I engage D or R. The sound can be heard as well when I am accelerating or decelerating at low speeds. At cruising speeds there is no sound even when accelerate or decelerate. I have recorded the sound whilst the car is on stationary and engaging D to R and vice versa whilst pressing on the brakes. The wav file is attached. http://rapidshare.de/files/14180021/...-528i.wav.html Thanks in advance. Your technical assistance is much appreciated.
