Hi,

Just bought a 2003 X5, 3.0i automatic transmission.

I am bringing it back to the dealer for some service (any comments I appreciate of course, we are all gentlemen here).

#1, when driving, at roughly 2000 rpm, there is a whistle that comes from the engine, in sync with when I push the gas pedal. (could be a bearing on tensioner or on the belt drive).

#2, when looking from the outside of the car at the rear view mirror, it seems that something is ungluing/peeling off on the windshield.

#3, when the driver side window is lowered to more than half way, there is a rattle inside the door. It sounds as if there is something loose. Also, when the car is on the highway, the rattle is more apparent.

#4, when the blower fan (for the HVAC) is on, it at times makes noise as is if is muffling or that the motor is forcing. This is an intermittent problem and goes on and off. I had the same problem on my 323ci 2000, and the blower motor was defective.



Now, I am reading problems with transmission, window regulators and water pumps? How do I detect these to advise them I have a problem?

I have 62 000km on the car. It would be a good idea to change the tranny oil and filter? What can go wrong?

Any other problems I should advise.

Thanks
