They also replaced the alternator and alternator belt tensioner, but those were the first two attempts and not the root cause. |

My previous one (X3M) had the belt squeal only when cold. They replaced the tensioner only, and the next cold snap it was still there. I didn't get a chance to take it back to get the lower idler done as it was written off in an accident.
With my replacement X3MC, it hasn't been cold enough since I got it 2 weeks ago. |

I also have this same noise on cold start in cold temperatures. I mentioned it during my last service and they found no issues. Still currently having the noise when its cold out.

I am in the USA, my dealer has already replaced the belt and tensioner last year to no avail, apparently the Canadian bulletin specifies to replace the belt, the tensioner, and the lower idler pulley. I believe my dealer has just replaced the idler pulley and I am awaiting further tests to verify the noise went away and my hopes are pretty high!

Being in San Diego, all my whining sounds at startup are from having a woman in the car.

is she a lease? see if there's any equity in the vehicle for an early trade in. if not, check with your lawyer about lemon laws.

Just posting that mine does this too, and I am just waiting until next winter so I can avoid the "but we can't hear anything" excuse. 2020 X3MC. Sounds like a tensioner or could be an air pump.
