Traded my MY2000 528iT for the MY2006 530xiT in early December.
Overall I am very pleased with the new model, but I have a question: After I exit the car it makes a 5-20 second noise, sounding like a compressor. This happens just a few seconds after I lock the car with the remote, but if I just exit w/o locking (in my garage), it can take several minutes before "the noise." starts. My guess is that it is the self-leveling rear suspension adjusting, but the 528 also had self-leveling as well, but I never heard any such noise. Anyone else know of this situation? Do I need to take the car back to the dealer with only 700+ miles on the clock?
Thanks for any info.

Agree -- no need to worry -- just the self-leveling system.
