A little squeak with cold start

BimmerD · 03-20-2016, 03:55 PM

Hi all,

I have done 13000 miles and just started noticing a little squeaky noise. It only comes when the engine is started first thing in the morning and keeps on coming with stop start untill the engine is a quarter warm. The noise comes right after the engine has started.

Has anybody experienced this issue.

Is it serious?

Never really had my head under the bonnet of my car so not sure what belts there are in there. Other cars I've had have power steering belts and one for the alternator but not sure how the beemers work!!

IF it is a belt shouldn't be serious but get it checked out anyway.

Dave.
