Four Issues - Accel, Seat, Thud, Engine

Hi Guys,

I've got four issues that I want to see if I can get some advice on.

1) I've never driven a BMW before my current 335i so I don't know how the engine sounds normally. However, I did accelerate somewhat hard (using DS) to overtake someone and quickly let go of the gas. Since then, sometimes the engine sounds very cold after being warmed up (i.e. has a slight harley davidson grumble to it). Is this normal?

2) When I accelerate to 13, right after it's gear shift (auto), the car gives 1 slight squeak in the back left wheel. Is this the same brake pad/sensor problem?

3) I have an e92. Whenever people sit in the back of my car and use the lateral seat adjustment button (the button on the top side of the seat) to get out of my car, after they use it, the top side seat button stops working for 2 days. Sometimes I get the Passenger Side Airbag light on. After two - three days later, it works again. Any ideas? Maybe a sensor error? I'm not sure.

4) Do you guys realize one thud that comes from the top right of the dashboard near the windshield when you come to a stop and sit idlely for a couple seconds?


let me know guys! thanks

I always hear weird noises behind the center air conditioning vents.

The engine is very finicky. It can make all kinds of sounds (and perform differently) depending on temperature outside, the humidity and your elevation.
