Picked up my first X5 this week after owning a E46 for many years.
It's a 2005 E53 3.0i with 88K mileage.
Noticed a bit of excessive noise coming from the engine (accessory belt area) whencold. The noise seems to go once the car is warm, but it is noticeable on a cold start.

Hi,
Picked up my first X5 this week after owning a E46 for many years.
It's a 2005 E53 3.0i with 88K mileage.
Noticed a bit of excessive noise coming from the engine (accessory belt area) when cold. The noise seems to go once the car is warm, but it is noticeable on a cold start.
Here is a link to a video of the noise https://youtu.be/CUwd0zpkPyU
Has anyone had something similar?
Thanks,
