Hi everyone

It's just a very annoying sound. I had a 2.0d SE E90 pervious to this one and maybe that did the same thing but was less apparent because I think the cabin is better sound proofed than in the X1.

My initial thought was it the tyres, as it sounds like it's coming for the far left and right hand sides.

I can't say I'm noticed a whistling noise in mine, thank goodness, just this droaning noise. I can't describe it any better than that. It a deep bassy noise that goes loud, quiet, loud, quiet.

I like to come on here and ask questions first because I find BMW dealerships are all to keen to dismiss things as normal.

Thanks for al your input guys.
