Test drove to verify complaint. Per SIB 64 18 05 Installed valves at end of both drains. Test drove again to verify noise no longer present.
Part 54-10-7-070-130."

Well it worked. No more noise. Not sure if this helps anyone else.
I will look up the part in BMW OEM.

Not sure if this is related, but when I drive on a highway 65mph+ I hear a whining sound also. It's especially audible when the car is in cruise control. It sounds like a contunous and steady a small rev-up, a small wind down sound... Complete cycle lasts about 3 seconds. Any ideas?
