Not my viddy, but the sound was identical. Gets louder with wear. I have an honest dealer, and I learned that this is a well known issue. Well, assuming it's the same. The sound is unmistakable. Just like the sound in the viddy. However, the X5 oil pump is just a bit noisy even when functioning properly, so if yours isn't that loud, maybe it's considered within spec.

isn't this the "golf cart" sound topic for v8 turbo x5/x5m? I have it. Told them to check oil pump they said i was crazy. Sounds like an electric motor whirring sound. Not the end of the world but makes truck sound a little ghetto

I've had the same golf cart noise at low speeds on my X5 50i since new. 45K miles later I still have the noise after wearing myself out trying to get BMW to even acknowledge that there is a problem. The response is "they all do that".
This low speed whine sounds pretty crappy for such a high end ultimate driving machine. |

They're replacing the pump. Hallelujah. I guess this depends on which dealership you go to, since the idiots I bought it from refused to fix it while keeping it for over a month.

Another +1 for the oil pump fix.
It took a few days for the PUMA case to get approved, but now I've got a 50i that sounds like it should.

Great news. Is there any documentation you could share with me that would help speed the process on my end? I have not yet attempted to get the dealer to fix mine, but I know I am in for a shit fight.

The easier you make it for them to see the issue, the more willing they will be to fix it for you.
