My Ride: 530i 6 speed
When I shut down my engine, I get a ~ 5s whining noise from the rear of the car (I think...).
I am probably missing the obvious explanantion, but what is it?
My old car didn't have it.

The amplifier for the Logic 7 system has a fan that you can often hear after shutting the car off. It's mounted in the left-rear quarter panel and it is audible from outside the car.
But then again, rodneyremington may be on the right track too...

My Ride: 2007 Titanium Gray 550i, with sport, nav, HUD, Logic7, sat radio, cold weather, rear side airbags, rear seat heaters, and it goes like a bat outta hell!
I've found it's pretty common for me to start whining when I turn the ignition off because I'm done driving!!

I was going with the "I think" part of "coming from the rear".
