X1 23D Xdrive Strange noise under load
Hi,
Has any one experienced a strange whining noise from X1 23d during cruise between 1950 to 2000 rpm, applying load to the accelerator there seems to be a constant whining noise coming from the engine. This is rather annoying since the engine speed range falls on high way cruise... Thank you and best regards, Boxy |

In here we "cruise" at 3000+ rpms...
(The 23d definitely should have a 7 or 8 speed gearbox.) As for whining noise, no... my 23d makes no such sound at any rpms. |

Yes, I have experienced the same problem. To me it sounds like a dry bearing, it was worst when new. I've now done 3500 miles and it seems a little better (I've also topped up the oil in the engine) BUT it's so difficult to replicate that as yet I have not been back to the dealership.
The noise sounds like a high pitch screech. At first I thought that it was wind noise, then considered the four wheel drive system as I understand that some Jaguars have the same problem, and then elswhere on this site I read that it was the windscreen seal and that there was a fix for it. I'm not convinced because the noise happens at different speeds, while under load and cruising, but never in the same circumstances, if it was the seal it would be possible to replicate it. If anybody from BMW has a detailed explanation please let me know. Thanks |

No mate, the turbo barely audiable, it sounds more like a worn bearing or something alike...

I have read on a German forum there someone implied this is noise is generated from the intake monifold (somehow related to part throttle air stream), however will appreciate if anyone had the same issue could share some thoughts and ultimately, solution for this annoying noise which appear loudest during quiet long night cruising at 100~110 km/h . |
