F32 electric noise under engine hood

BMW2Me · 04-01-2016, 02:42 PM

Hello,

I have a F32 435i coupe and it's making a weird sound while I unlock or lock the car. It's sounds like something that has to do with the electricity?

I have uploaded two videos on the weird sounds that appears.

Do you guys know what the problem could be? Could it be something wrong with the electricity module?

Thank you in advance!

Whatever it is, it sounds broken. Maybe the HPFP?

I would take it to the dealership. Doesn't sound right.

Hi! That doesn't sound normal. Any mod in your engine electronic map or anything that you would consider relevant? Maybe an engine wash, etc...? Please keep us updated...

The engine have not been modified and i have never done an engine wash. The car is now exactly 1 year and i have drove 2580km.
I can tell you after i have notice these noise that i think is related to the electricity, because when i have closed the trunk (without unlock the doors) some kind of these sound would appears, and after the car auto lock, the alarm will continue monitoring.

I dont know if these kind of noise is related to the engine but i have heard some noise from the timing chain like the chain is not running smoothly. I also felt the idling is fluctuating. I have only notice this problem 2 times since the weird sounds appeared, but not now when i have droven the car since last week.

I will have the car check at my dealership. But my dealership said if no warning indicator has alert they can't read any fault memories from the car obd.

That is why i try to ask you guys if you know something about these kind of problems.
