Noise when you open door

scottishpete · 08-23-2009, 03:02 PM

Whats the noise when you first open door? Sounds like the nav disc spinning or something

Maybe just mine??

i also hear this on my May 2005 built 320d.

My 330D make a noise under the bonnet when the car is unlocked, like a fan spinning up. Is this what you are hearing?

I get this noise also , thought it was a fault with the alarm system . Since it hasnt caused me any trouble ive been happy enough to let it continue . Interested to know whats happening though

It's the sat nav disc running up to speed to be ready by the time you start the engine.

Could be your fuel pump.

It's quite common for cars to prime the fuel system when unlocking / opening door so you don't have to wait when you turn the ignition key.

Agree, two stage fuel pump, a lift pump primes the high pressure system, ready for start up.

to add in, mine does this too, and i dont have Nav. sounds like passenger side low down to me, so i would agree with the inline fuel pump firing up, its under the passenger seat ish.. (i presume if its similar in design to the E46)
