Problem, intermittent electronic screeching noise when off

LotusGt111 · 11-17-2008, 07:50 PM

I was wondering if somebody else has had the same problem or knows what this could be.

I have an 07 E92 and went into my garage a few hours ago and was getting ready to do the H8 Angel Eye swap. All of a sudden I hear this electronic screech come from the engine. Almost like a "BEEP" except more metallic sounding, kinda like metal against metal. It was such a hard sound to describe. Anyway, it did it, then stopped. Then after 30 more second or even 1 minute it would do it again. Only one screech at a time though. Then all of a sudden it stopped.

This is the second time it has done this. Last night was the first time that I heard it and tonight is the second.

Thanks for any suggestions,comments, and help

Bring a recorder with you and just do things like you normally do to see if it happens again
