My MCS has a loud whistle around 100-105 mph. It sounds like one of those train whistles you use to play with as a kid. I slowed down once I heard it but tried it again later and the same thing happened. I'm not about to go any faster for fear of something breaking. Any ideas? I wonder how a dealer would handle this problem because they can't legally go 100 mph to hear the whistle!?

 

well, i usually whistle around 120 or so. maybe its you enjoying yourself and you just dont realize it.

 

neither can you.

Surely he was on the track, and as for the dealer, they'll will just have to stick it in their wind tunnel...

 

Well, really my wife made me do it. We were going to meet some friends for dinner and we were running late. What else was I to do?

Now, I'm in once more....IB4TL

 

Sorry but what is "IB4TL"?

 

In before the lock. Talkin' about breaking the law get threads locked!

 

In before the thread locks....

 

It stands for In Before The Lock. Typically, it's used so that people can post in a thread that they think will be locked & add to their post counts without adding anything of value (such as answering a question or adding an opinion on the topic).

 

Dopamine stole my reply - great minds think alike I guess!

 

Mine has this noise too. Sometimes starts around 95.
See this thread: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d.php?t=106567

Seems to effect many R56's, not sure if there is a fix.

 

Oops, must've missed that part...I'll post again after I take it to Road Atlanta.

 

I wonder if it's the holes in the bonnet scoop ?

 

Is this really a problem? I mean, it's a lot like complaining that the cupholder doesn't hold your drink very well when cornering on a race track or the airconditioning not keeping the car cool when it's on fire.

 

It's not a whistle. It's a siren. Look in the rear-view next time.

 

haha, I was gonna say the same thing

 

Hahaha... that's probably about right! Bye, bye... Mini to the impound!

 

Very good comment Lynne, Very Good.

 

if its a 56, it may be the gap in the headlight surround. thats my first guess.

 

:impatient while I have nothing to say about the topic at hand, I would respectfully submit that I am not one to post IB4TL as a method of increasing my post count.

 

Must be one of those Deer Whistles.

 

I find it a subtle way to say to the Mods, "Ahem, you may want to look at this..."

 

But isn't that the whole purpose behind the 'Report Post' icon? I'm not certain on how the mods work on NAM, but I'd guess that they don't go around searching for IB4TL posts to see where they should look.
