Hi folks

Got a 2014 X3 30D with 81000 on the clock. It has recently developed a droning noise most audible when I take my foot off the accelerator. It's not wildly loud. There's no grinding sound or anything like that. I've had the bearings checked on all wheels and they are fine. 

Any ideas please ?

Hi Jock. 
Is the car 4 wheel drive? 
4x4 centre bearing? 
that would be my first guess. 
 

does it make the noise when stationary?

      Does any one know if the lighting is already installed? But not active? Or are the connections there but just no light? If so or not does anyone know anyone in Hampshire who would be able to help me have the job done? In advance Thank you
