Hi guys, I just noticed this happening in my car today. It doesn't happen when I turn the wheel, but rather it's constant whether I turn it or not. I've never noticed it before.

I've done a search on the forum and found A/S problems with clicking when unlocking the doors, but I don't have this problem. I only noticed it because I wasn't blasting the radio this moring.

I think it's the steering wheel buttons. The buttons that change radio and ect.

Never had that happen on either E60.

Hmm... it maybe the buttons. The sound is so faint, it could be the fans in the engine? I'm sure if I complain to the dealer nothing will be done about it.

I can hear them now.. "It's normal!"

I agree - steering wheel buttons. Mine does this ocassionally. Usually on really rough roads. The button that vibrates on mine is the top programable button. Took me forever to figure out what was making the noise. I thought it was the dashboard for the longest time.

they are the buttons, i had to stick a piece of small cardboard to shut them off. took the car to the dealer and he was speechles after listening to those small things make so much noise.

anyway, he said he had to change the button modules (under warranty) because they cant be reapaired, they are like $40 dlls each side.
