Hello,

My X5 4.6is is making the same noise from the dash. Looks like it is coming from a fan. Try this: Set the airco as low as possible (16 degrees celcius in Europe), the fan stops spinning then and the noise is gone.

I will have to find the exact fan, but don't want to disable my dashboard yet.. Does anyone knows where the fans are located. The one that's making the noise is located behind the instrument cluster is guess...

Greetz,
Niels
