To the best of my memory its a sound that was never present in my 2006 e53 and im sure it wasnt introduced until 2008..however when I just got in it just now it made it a second or 2 after starting the engine....no warnings or anything....My best guess would be that ibus got an update and its playing when thats loading? but I cant find anything in the ibus options relating to the gong.
