What's that sound when you open the door?

sard · 10-19-2011, 10:12 PM

What's that hydraulic / gas sound heard after you open / close the doors?

Toecutter · 10-19-2011, 10:36 PM

Maybe you can find the sound a douche makes and post it below.

Toecutter · 10-19-2011, 11:37 PM

LOL. Do you know what you're listening to? Too young maybe.

sard · 10-19-2011, 11:38 PM

I don't know, but maybe you can beam up the answer..

I assume you have the adjustable dampers, as I do. On all the BMWs (5 series loaners and such) I've driven with the adjustable dampers, including my X3, I hear that sound when opening the door or unlocking the car. I believe it's the gas pressure shock absorbers releasing pressure to prepare for proper variability during driving.

On my previous ride (E90 335i) it made teh same sound - it was the fuel pump "priming" in preparation for a startup.

paul386 · 10-20-2011, 05:45 AM

It is the fuel pump priming as ILuvMy335i said.

I don't have the adjustable dampers and mine makes that same noise so it's not that.

Zoo54924 · 10-20-2011, 07:04 AM

Agreed. I also dont have the dampers and I hear the same whooshing sound when opening the door.

I have the adjustable suspension on my 550i M sport and believe me if it makes so much a sound it would go back, it's silent.

Yeah it's just the fuel pump priming
