"The tail end of the car is sitting low"

Years back I had an 89 740 that drove me nuts with noise on the highway at speed - that sounded like exhaust, but was not. It was a drone from the drivetrain. I replaced both motor mounts and trans mount to start, as the motor was almost touching the crossmember. That made it better, but it was still loud, and the exhaust - though not perfect - was not the real problem.

I did sell the car before I got it straight ...but, I was told that the rear end can get ...low, the yoke pitched up or down, and it would make the noise I was hearing at speed - from the driveshaft & rear u-joint.

Good luck
