X7 M50i Turbo Whining noise
I hear some whining noise from the engine and it's more noticeable in sports mode during gear changes. It's very obvious with windows down and the hissing/whining noise sounds like a turbo spool. It sometimes go away and then comes back.
The other issues are continuous rattling sound of panoramic roof coming from the dividing bar above the drivers head. If I put some pressure pushing it upwards the sound disappears, so I hope it needs tightening of some screws. The second row leather cover came off under the leg with some plastic connect. I tried and pushed it inwards but not sure if it's secured properly. I feel quality control is something BMW should look into before rolling out cars from factory. |

That doesn’t sound like any issue there but your other complaint about the pano roof sounds like something I would take it in for to be checked on. I’m sure that is something that can be fixed. I thought I had seems another thread where someone was having a similar issue but can’t remember for sure. I haven’t experienced this in ours yet but I just picked it up a week ago. Good luck with that one and keep us posted on what you find out |

I had a similar rattling noise on Panamera panoramic roof but it only happened in turns and bumps and the SA found a loose screw that was tightened. I'm not sure about X7 since it's a continuous noise and right above my head Will update once I get it to service. |

Rattling sound from Panoramic roof was resolved today by applying some grease and tightening it up again. Second row seat leather cover which was coming off was re-installed. The whining sound is something they were not able to figure out and I may live with it as it only comes in sports plus mode.

I have the same rattling noise with the sunroof. Can you tell me if yours has been resolved now that it has been a few days? How long did it take to fix? I wonder if I can just take it in and have them do it on the spot. Can you tell me exactly what they did so I can show the dealership here? Thanks in advance.
