Hi - does anyone else have this problem? On my #1 Brabus, I have a loud humming noise (sounds like the droning noise of a combustion engine) that occurs between 40-55mph. I have heard on another forum that this has been identified as coming from the rear axle bearings and rear motor mounting bushes, and can be done as a warranty repair. This seems to have affected a lot of cars that were built before June 23 as reported by owners in a German Smart forum. ANyone else got this? Anyone else had it fixed? I'd be very grateful for any help or insight with this, thanks.

I’ve noticed my Brabus does this and has assumed it was some quirk around that speed. Please post if you get a resolution.

Hi

Yeah I've noticed that recently, kept checking if the synthetic engine noise had turned itself on as a result of a patch, but no. 23 plate having taken delivery in Jan 24.
