My Ride: Silver/Grey E60
Default

Guys I installed my SB a few days ago and drove it around for 2 days with no issues.

Well today I go to start up my E60 and there was a grinding sound as if a bad starter or something. The only way I can describe the noise is similar to when you accidently turn the key on a car that is already started and it makes a grinding noise.

I removed the SB and it seems that the sound is not happening anymore. Has anyone ever had a smilar experience? Could the SB effect the start up on the E60? HELP PLEASE!!

UPDATE:

I think i figured out the problem with my 5er after some research on the forums.

Its a cold start issue. I even found the SIB that addresses the problem with the Belt and Tensioner during cold starts. Has anyone else had issues with cold starting such as rough idle or a loud grinding sound in the morning?
