I just went to testdrive an e30 325is that I was thinking of buying locally.

It all appeared well until in accordance to this sites buying guide, then it started raining. I was doing 30 mph down to --> 20 mph in and then started accelerating; this was then a noise was coming from the back right side of the car, like a jolting sound but not too feelable or bone shaking every couple of seconds on and off, this continued on for about half a mile before turning the car around, and got worse downhill.


What do you recon this could be guys?

Thanks

A shite tyre giving a bit of wheelspin when accelerating?

Are there Nankings on there?

It had 16" wheels on there off the top of my head, tbh I wasn't booting it when accelerating in that bit so it is unlikely to be the tyres - no wheelspins!

Trust me - I have nankings on the back of my 2 door - 10mph on a wet roundabout brings out the vatanen in me.

But - I'm sure there are a multitude of reasons - See E30beemerlad above
