BMW E39 weird engine noise
You tube - schmu tube - post a link.
Oh by the way another poster's suggestion of searching for the noise with a bit of tube (or even a stethoscope) was something I was going to suggest. Most likely it is an accessory, so if you take the belts off one at a time you might narrow it down. Candidates may include water pump oil pump alternator AC fan (if it has thermal slip) power steering pump (checked the fluid lately? - it will make a din if it runs out) internal engine noise (e.g. camshaft bearings) "bigbmwman" > wrote in message ...
