I took my car in to the dealer to investigate a small vibration of the steering wheel when stationary whilst waiting at traffic lights.

Turns out BMW have mounted one of the heat pump motors to the steering rack so when it’s working hard you can feel the vibration through the wheel! Would only be noticeable in an electric model as the engine or even normal road vibrations whilst moving drown it out.

What a strange decision to mount the pump there…
