e39 Noise
I`m kind of obsessed about the noise my car is making, I made 2 videos and posted them on youtube. I have an e39 2171cm M54 engine with 170bhp
First noise problem I have is one I hear from outside of the car, especially when I have the hood closed I can hear it from the wheel arch. It`s a ticking sound The second problem, when I get into my car in the morning, theres a weird sound coming from the back of the AC Control Pannel, sounds like a worn out PC fan If any of you guys can help me I would appreciate it Thanks in advance

1. I'd guess VANOS or lifter noise. The VANOS assembly can develop play which can cause the noise. See www.beisansystems. com.
2. The IHKA panel has a fan inside to measure cabin temperature. The fan blades can collect dirt, esp if you are a smoker. Remove the cup holder panel, and reach up and push out the IHKA panel. Clean and lube the fan.
