What's up people?
I need some help with finding out what exactly is wrong with my baby.
I tried searching using all types of strings, but no luck. so here I go.
Problem 1)
Either the V8 or the tranny makes a pretty irritating grinding noise when starting a slow start from a complete stop. Gears are somewhere between 1-3 or 3-4. At this point, my feet are applying very minimal pressure on the accelerator. The Grinding continues until the RPM reaches above 2300 or so. It sounds like a starbucks frap maker.
Problem 2)
I hear a humming noise somewhere between the steering wheel and the dash board or even possibly the passenger side of the engine room. This noise only appears when the car is at a stop and the engine is idle.
My MY06 never had this problem, but my MY07 had this problem since day 1.
Any thoughts or suggestions? I would like to find out the problem before going to the dealer.
Thanks again!

I believe I have the same "grinding" noise you describe when starting off in either forward or reverse directions, either cold or warm. I am just considering it to be a characteristic of this car--my first BMW. I purchased mine CPO two months ago with 21K miles and it has been there from day 1.

Thanks for the replies, I have set up an appointment with my service center next week.
I hope this won't be something major, but that 'grinding' sound really worries me every time this happens.
I will keep you all posted.
BTW, my MY07 is a pre-sept/2006 build. Would the newest CIP update give me RTTI functionality and a set of dead eyebrows?

CIP 24.XX., anybody in the U.S. have this update done? My car doesn't have HD radio, would I be able to get RTTI?
As I mentioned before, my car is a pre-september-MY07 build w/ nav.
