Car Sounds Upon Entrance May Signify Seat Motor Malfunction

Bmoney2K4 · 11-23-2023, 07:32 PM

For the past two months 90 % of the time I enter my car, it sounds as if the motor under my front driver seat makes a noise akin to "ehhhhh" about six or seven times for forty seconds.

My mechanic says it sounds as if that noise is coming from my CD player which does not have a CD inside of it.

This is a 2015 528i, has anyone else ever experienced such sounds upon entering their F10? If so, please tell me and / or let me know what you think that sound is indicating? I am certain the sound is not coming from the CD player, rather from under the driver seat. Thank you.

Is is like a "ehhhhhh" or like a "arh,ehhhh, kkkkkk". My car does make like a "shhhhh-ehhhhh,...uuuu" sometimes.

Could it be the VANOS resetting?
