They have gotten very loud under hard acceleration. I used to just hear a "gush" between gear changes... it grew to a whistle under hard acceleration, now it just screams. it sounds cool as hell, but... um... it didnt do this before.
If nobody has seen or heard this, i will try to take a video tomorrow in my parking garage after everyone leaves for work.

That sucks Craig, but don't you dare switching to Audi after your lease is up ![Laughing](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/laughing.gif)

Don't wait too long though, because if too much false air is being sucked in, your fuel/air ratio will be incorrect which is not good for engine + exhaust system.
P.S. It's the only issue I ever had with my E60 in almost 3 years now.
