Hi folks,

I just recently bought my 1995 318ti (108000mi)- I have experience with Porsche to some extent (I used to work for Inskip Porsche) but NONE with BMW! So I will most assuredly sound like a bonehead to the majority of you! I have a strange rotational noise that almost sounds like metal on metal brakes, or like tires on a wet roadway. It only happened within the past couple of days when it was 25 degrees Fahrenheit outside. I wonder if it may be a drive shaft noise? I pulled the front wheels off, brake pads look great, the wheels spin freely, everything seems fine. Any ideas???
