I can only hear it at low speeds as road roar etc drowns it out at most speeds (anything above about 10mph) but i guess I will be going back to BMW yet again. theminiv - post if you manage to find out for sure what the cause is...

Yes, this is the sound. Basically, when my dealer changed the column for the second time, I noticed the noise. The mechanic knew what it was and sorted it.

I think there is a wire or something that goes through the bulkhead, and there is a rubber sealer there to stop any crud from the road getting into the car. I think that needs tightening or something.

I will ring the dealer tomorrow and post my findings. Hopefully it will be simple.
