I'm getting a rubbing sound from the rear when I turn right in my M5 but only when cold.

It's not the brakes as I've tried apply a slight amount of handbrake to see if that was the issue.

I can only deduce the Diff and then something to do with the oil perhaps...

Any ideas?

Wheel Bearings perhaps??

Still has 9 months warranty so dealer can sort but would like an idea of what it may be first...

My brother had noise when turning from the diff on his Nov 05 build car. The supplying main dealer changed the diff oil to another spec. There is probably a service note on the new oil. Happened to a number of cars on the M5board.
