New to BMW's, have a question about a noise the car makes

citznfish · 04-20-2016, 12:45 PM

Hello,

Just picked up a 2016 Sdrive 235i X5 M Sport. When the car has sat overnight and I hit "unlock" on the remote I can hear something humming for about 10 seconds. Is that the fuel pump priming itself? Car doesn't have air suspension or anything and I am trying to figure out what is causing the noise.

Thanks!

That is exactly what it is

P.S. I am printing this page out so I can show my wife that I can be right at least once.

Print it, by all means, but don't show her unless you are fully prepared for it to be the one and only time you are right!

I am sure that will go over well. I would pass on telling her.

Also tell her that small button right below the volume control is a passenger side seat ejection button.

Uh, it was simply a joke.

Seriously. What is the small button right below the volume control? I don't remember it on my E70 X5 and X6.

shodanusmc · 04-22-2016, 07:06 PM

correct on the noise. Question is, what is a 235i X5M? Thought they were 35 and 50

Ever since the N54 engine came out and it had a history of the long crank issues with the HPFP (high pressure), BMW started priming that pump with the LPFP (low pressure) on all their turbo engines after a software update circa 2009-2010 from what I remember.
