Noise during drive, probably xDrive/transmition?

Hi All,
probably i wasn't paying attention before, but now i think that it's there. While going at 100+ km/h i can hear continuous mechanical noise. So, i spent some time to figure out how that happening. It's quite easy to hear that once i'm reaching 130 and then leaving accel. It's like low level vibrating type of noise, can be felt on the steering wheel too.
So, my question to you would be - do you have the same? Tyres answer.... i thought about that - but it was there also with winter tyres so i'd probably say that it shouldn't be the case. Could that be transmition noise? This guees is coming from the fact that all cars i've used before were frontwheelers. I've noticed very similar type of noise on merc but way lower as volume...

Any idea, should i hit dealer office for answers?

Thanks.

Nobody has similar noise? Hm, probably i'll need to check it just to be sure that it's fine.
I'll keep you posted on results.

I think I have the same problem with my E60 530xda LCI. I'm not sure if this noise was there with winter tires but now with staggered (275/30-19 & 235/35-19) summer tires it's clearly audible and doesn't sound healthy at all. You can't hear it with very low speeds but when raising speed and/or motor braking and accelerating etc it's there. And yes, I can feel some vibration in steering wheel also.

Did you find out what was the problem?
