Greetings to everybody,
I own a 2006 BMW E90 320d with an M47 diesel engine.

I just acquired the clutch assembly along with the flywheel.

Shortly thereafter, I encountered an issue with performance and a humming noise that I can elucidate as follows: "When I accelerate in second gear and exceed 2300 rpm, upon attempting to shift into third, the rpm decreases as expected. However, when it reaches approximately 1800 rpm, I hear a humming noise akin to air being ground." This occurs during the shifting process as the rpm declines to around 1800.
It also occurs during gradual acceleration in second gear, when I can hear it as well.
One month later, I began to lose power until reaching 2500 RPM, at which point the vehicle accelerates flawlessly.
I replaced the air filter and EGR valve, after which the issue of power loss seemed to be resolved.
The previous EGR was obstructed by a wet carbon oil combination, despite having been cleaned three months before.

However, I now see that the issue is progressively reemerging, and the buzzing noise persists.

I own no error codes.

200,000 kilometres

No discernible oil leaks or depletion.

At high speeds, the automobile seems to function well; yet, it exhibits issues mostly in urban environments.

I apologise for the lengthy explanation.
Thank you in advance.

Are all the hoover pipes functioning properly?
Ensure the boost hose is correctly installed and free of any splits.
We need any trouble codes.

No fault codes, which the boost hoses did not comprehend.

I am uncertain whether this is relevant, however I replaced the water pump and thermostat when the vehicle had 180,000 km, one year ago. I have seen that when driving in the city, the coolant temperature remains about 90 degrees; however, on the highway, it drops to 70 or 65 degrees. I am uncertain as to why this occurs, but I understand that it should not happen.

Was the thermostat authentic, as it seemed to have malfunctioned once more?
The boost hose is the large conduit leading to the turbo intake.

The thermostat originates from BMW.

Did you also replace the EGR stat?
It seems to be an issue with the thermostat.
