Hi,

Got a quick question. When washing the car today ( finally got some sun ) I noticed a high pitched whine coming from under the hood. Car was turned off. I opened the hood but could not pinpoint the origin (who can see anythingn under all that plastic ). I assume there are a bunch of electronics that run for a while after the car is turned off. Should I be worried? Any ideas what this might be?

Loving the car by the way!

Thanks.

Thanks. That's a relief. I kind of figured I was being paranoid.

Regards.

N/P ya. we all tend to get scared when we hear strange noises... but its normal for the E60. Mine makes all sorts of noises during start up and before sleeping.
