Strange Grating Noise - What Is It? X5 E70 Xdrive

Hi all,

wondering if someone can give me some pointers about a strange loud whirring noise my 2009 E70 X5 30d X-Drive has coming from the front - it is like a grating sound and seems to be intermittent and last from 2 to 30 seconds. Usually from a cold start but sometimes whilst driving and sometimes after the engine is switched off.

I've looked around and have seen some comments about the suspension/compressor but those examples seem to only be for a couple of seconds long, not the 20-30 that I get sometimes.

I've filmed it this week - in this example it is just after I've turned off the ignition and lasts 30 seconds.

Any help will be very much appreciated!
