Strange noise from behind drivers side front wheel?

Post by JF1980 » Sat Sep 10, 2016 4:37 pm

A couple of times now I've noticed a quite deep, loud whirring/pumping mechanical noise coming from the engine (behind the drivers side wheel) after parking.

This might well be normal but never noticed anything like it with the old E53.

I'm booking in for a service soon and have a list of things to be investigated under warranty.  Wonder if I should be adding this to it?

Are you sure it's not just the air suspension compressor? Mine does this....

Does it do it when warm or cold?
