Unhappy X3 Issues

Hi, thank you for your reply, the noise seems to be coming from the n/s/r wheel area. The car did suffer some damage to the tyre in that corner, my wife had a sudden deflation but she said she did not hit anything, there was damage to the under body tray and a torn side wall on the tyre. I wonder weather what ever damaged that tyre caused the damage to the wheel bearing / drive shaft ? I had to put a new tyre on that corner and its not an approved type so that could be some of the problem. The rumble increases when you turn right a the weight is concentrated to that corner of the car. I been to a Gearbox / diff expert and they are illusive as to what it might be and what £500 to even take a look, the same applys to our local BMW dealer. I have checked the diff oil and is all OK at this time. I don't have endless amounts of money to spend on it and I'm trying my best to locate the trouble spot myself.

Regards Andrew.
