I have had my 2001 X5 since April 2004. I bought it off lease and also bought an extended warranty. I have kept the maintenance up and always listen closely to any changes in the way the car sounds or handles. etc.
The other morning, I heard a purring noise shortly after starting the car that got worse as I drove, and was louder at idle and faded when I was actually accelerating/driving. I went right back home and when I went back to start the car later, horrible lound noice from under the hood.
I can't tell if it is the engine or a belt but am very concerned because i love my car and have taken good care of it. I have an appointment with BMW on Tuesday, but was wondering if anyone can ease my fears or if this sounds familiar to anyone..
thank you!
