In Reply to: New Owner...Is noise normal at start up??? posted by X5ONIT on March 03, 2002 at 22:05:41:

There is a small fan behind the panel for the climate control system. It sucks in cabin air and blows it over a temp sensor to measure cabin temp.
It starts running when you open the door, and stops a couple of minutes after you get out.

Hello all, your help so far has been appreciated. Two more things. We have a noise, I am sure it's a fan noise at start up and sometimes when the car is shut off. This is with the radio turned down. We didn't notice it the first few days. Any thoughts? Also, does anyone know of if any one makes a cover for the rear seats to protect them from car seat dents. Our Evenflo baby seat are going to ruin the seats. I stuck a towel under it for now but that looks corny.

One more thing, I posted that the navigation system sucks a couple weeks ago and someone mentioned that I would like it better once I got the manual. Well I am sorry to say, that I think it still sucks and the Acura system is still better by a couple miles. BMW should use the Japanese principle of KISS (Keep it Simple, Stupid)
Regards,
