E39 - rubbing noise from NS rear wheel
Any suggestions what might be causing a "rubbing noise" from the rear
wheel? Tyres are not new. The noise is definitely speed-related. It doesn't alter whether brakes are applied or not (neither the hand brake). A cursory inspection doesn't show anything visible that the wheel might be rubbing against - was going to run it down to the local kiwk fit and get them to stick on a ramp but just thought I'd seek opinions/thoughts on here too. -- jeremy ['01 BMW 530iA SE Touring]

Not 100% sure on the E39, but do you have 2 sets of brakes on the rear disks? i.e. the pads for the normal foot brakes, and shoes for the hand brake? If so, does the noise change when the hand brake is applied? Dodgy. -- MUSHROOMS ARE THE OPIATE OF THE MOOSES

Next suggestion please  -- jeremy ['01 BMW 530iA SE Touring]
