low whirling noise when changing gear?

just wondering if anyone else has heard the same? have 2.0d auto and when once the gear has shifted into a higher gear, there's a low whirling noise for a couple of seconds...

this mostly happens when moving from 1-2,2-3,3-4 but not higher..

just wondering if that's normal?

had auto gears on my previous z4/5 series which didn't have this issue

Me too

Yes my 2.0D does that when cold, only in the first few gears. Like metallic reverberation.

Mine does it when cold (2.0d auto) when accelerating slowly in low gears, I would describe it as a whining noise, I wondered if it was turbo whistle (a subject about which I know almost nothing)

Robwoods - i've had a turbo on the 5 series as well and it doesn't sound like the turbo whistle.. but like the whining/whirling sound...

but glad to hear i'm not the only one... had the x3 for a mth now and only just started to hear it.. didn't put it down to the weather but it could v well be the case..
