Good Afternoon, my name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* ill be helping you, so sorry to hear about the issues here on the BMW, i know how frustrating it can be to deal with strange noises on a vehicle we have recently purchased. Now just so im clear does the noise change as you get faster or its the same once it starts? also have your been able to get any of the rear end components inspected already?

I haven't tried to go back to that then that when the noise when the noise starts I usually just slow down and I haven't had anything inspected on itI will say that the clicking once I let my foot off the gas and the RPMs go down the clicking stopthe other day when I went to go and put the car in Reverse this big cloud of like black smoke came out of the muffler

okay thank you, \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* few things in the rear that can cause these symptoms. most commonly the noise comes from the rear differential being low on fluid or having worn fluid. i would recommend we look into having the differential fluid inspected and checked for being the correct level and not showing any metal in the fluid that would indicate a damaged rear differential. other things to consider would be worn wheel bearings in the rear as well as worn rear axle shafts but these are less likely than it being related to the differential

The guy who I bought the car from said he had just had the [brakes](/topics-brake/) replaced recently but they are squeaky as hell and I'm wondering if maybe the two are connected

i dont think they will be, if the brakes were an issue the noise would be present at all speeds and RPMs

well related to your clicking noise from the rear it would be a differential fluid issue specifically.
