Does anyone have any specific details or any garages in Ireland or the UK they can ring to get more detail from?

They are adamant there is no PUMA.
Glancing at the thread the suggestion is that whatever fix BMW implemented was via a software update to the car’s iStep. If that’s the case then making sure you’re on the latest should solve it.

But it also depends on what grinding noise you’re hearing too. I can often hear what I’d calling a winding noise, but I guess you could call it grinding when the shutters in the front are opening and closing.

If it is that then I’d say the noise is normal…
