No CV's in a 735i AFAIK.
Wheel / tyre too large or loose mud flap rubbing on tyre perhaps?
Worn wheel bearings? |

Sounds like a wheel bearing to me.
Might also be something caught up in the brakes.
You need to pull the wheel and take a look. >> Stay informed about: 1990 BMW 735i Rubbing Noise When Slowing Down |

I would not associate CV joints with a rubbing in the steering wheel of yoru
7 Series. One, CV joints are on front wheel drive cars, you have rear wheel
drive.
You describe a worn wheel bearing, sorta. That's where I start my search.
I'd be sure to check the brakes along the way because that is what I think
your real problem is.

Thanks. I took the car out again yesterday. The problem really seems
to be when the card idles (and when I slow down to an idle). A noise
is heard when it idles, but when I step on the gas, it goes away. If I
shift it into neutral and apply the gas, the noise goies away.

It's not road speed related - look for loose belts, anything loose around
the engine etc. >> Stay informed about: 1990 BMW 735i Rubbing Noise When Slowing Down |
