Is the car running when you hear this noise? A better description of the noise and the circumstances when you hear it would improve the response.

I don't think you're being ignored. It just sounds like you have a problem that others are unfamiliar with. What I suggest you do is call your Service Advisor and ask for an appointment. Request that a technician go for a drive so they can hear the sound too. It's all covered under warranty so all you'll end up short with is the time in your 550i. BTW, did you ever post pics of the car?

Nobody answers in 24 hours and you get all emo? Geeze - somebody's high maintenance.

People here are quick to help when they can, but we're not servants. Sheesh.

Don't worry Mel... When I posted my first question on this forum, I didn't get a reply for weeks and just figured everyone on here sucked. They actually still do, but I've grown to love them.

Congrats on the car. How about some pix?
